Microplastics on the Planet: Current Knowledge and Challenges

Environmental Science & Technology Letters, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 11(12), С. 1262 - 1271

Microplastic (MP) pollution has become a global issue, attracting attention from stakeholders around the globe. Knowledge of MPs been substantially advanced in recent years. Newly developed analytical technologies allow better characterization MPs, but characterizing nanosized plastic particles remains challenging. Transport debris land to oceans is key driver for marine pollution, and relative contributions riverine runoff atmospheric deposition must be further quantified. Another lingering issue whether can bioaccumulate biomagnify along food web, which demands investigations. Currently there no health risk assessment human exposure probably due lack reference threshold values. Hence, establishing values should long-term continuing task scientific community. Recent progress quantifying vertical settling deep brightened prospect finding "Missing Plastics", at least partially. Future efforts are urgently needed developing novel techniques, conducting additional laboratory field measurements, formulating robust models understand occurrence, fate, effects on planet.

Microplastics in agricultural soils following sewage sludge applications: Evidence from a 25-year study

Chemosphere, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 376, С. 144277 - 144277

Опубликована: Март 9, 2025

Sewage sludges applied to agricultural soils are sources of microplastic pollution, however, little is known about the accumulation, persistence, or degradation these microplastics over time. This first study provide long-term, high temporal resolution quantitative evidence in following sewage sludge application. The abundance and was assessed sampled biennially from an experimental field a 25-year period managed under improved grassland regime application five different sludges. contained compositions reflecting Microplastic increased by 723-1445% applications (p < 0.05) remained constant time (22 years possibly beyond) > 0.05). All predominantly added white/transparent microfibres soil. Microfilms, microfibres, fragments were most susceptible degradation, potentially creating micro(nano)plastics. Of note discoloration coloured which may be environmentally hazardous due toxicity textile dyes soil ecosystems. We also found that plastic composition could used trace its source. useful informing regulation on use management, assessing fate impact
