Atmospheric microplastics: A review on current status and perspectives

Earth-Science Reviews, Год журнала: 2020, Номер 203, С. 103118 - 103118

Microplastics have recently been detected in the atmosphere of urban, suburban, and even remote areas far away from source regions microplastics, suggesting potential long-distance atmospheric transport for microplastics. There still exist questions regarding occurrence, fate, transport, effect These arise due to limited physical analysis understanding microplastic pollution conjunction with a lack standardized sampling identification methods. This paper reviews current status knowledge on methods sample collection, detection. We review compare used previous studies provide recommendations measurement. Furthermore, we summarize findings related characteristics, including abundance, size, shapes, colours, polymer types. occur urban areas, an abundance/deposition spanning 1–3 orders magnitude across different sites. Fibres fragments are most frequently reported shapes types plastic which generally aligns world demand. conclude that microplastics require further research greater identify its global distributions exposure human health through field implementation analytical protocols.

Source, migration and toxicology of microplastics in soil

Environment International, Год журнала: 2020, Номер 137, С. 105263 - 105263

Опубликована: Фев. 19, 2020

Microplastics are emerging contaminants and their presence in water soil ecosystems has recently drawn considerable attention because they pose a great threat to entire ecosystems. Recent researches have focused on the detection, occurrence, characterization, toxicology of microplastics marine freshwater ecosystems; however, our understanding ecological effects is still limited compared with that aquatic Here, we compiled literature, studying sources, migration soil, negative impacts health function, trophic transfer food chains, corresponding adverse organisms order address potential human risks caused by soil. This review aims gaps knowledge, shed light propose future studies microplastic pollution resultant ecotoxicity. Furthermore, this limiting establishing management remediation measures mitigate posed pollution.

A Review of Microplastics in Table Salt, Drinking Water, and Air: Direct Human Exposure

Environmental Science & Technology, Год журнала: 2020, Номер 54(7), С. 3740 - 3751

Опубликована: Март 2, 2020

The ubiquity of microplastics in aquatic and terrestrial environments related ecological impacts have gained global attention. Microplastics been detected table salt, drinking water, air, posing inevitable human exposure risk. However, rigorous analytical methods for detection characterization remain scarce. Knowledge about the potential adverse effects on health via dietary respiratory exposures is also limited. To address these issues, we reviewed 46 publications concerning abundances, sources, air. We summarized probable translocation accumulation pathways within body. Human body burdens through inhalation were estimated to be (0–7.3)×104, (0–4.7)×103, (0–3.0)×107 items per person year, respectively. intake inhalation, especially indoor was much higher than those other routes. Moreover, air impose threats both digestive systems breathing ingestion. Given lifetime microplastics, urgently call a better understanding hazards health.

New Insights into the Aging Behavior of Microplastics Accelerated by Advanced Oxidation Processes

Environmental Science & Technology, Год журнала: 2019, Номер 53(7), С. 3579 - 3588

Опубликована: Март 4, 2019

In the environment, microplastics are subjected to multiple aging processes; however, information regarding impact of on environmental behavior is still lacking. This study investigated alteration properties polystyrene and high-density polyethylene by heat-activated K2S2O8 Fenton treatments improve understanding their long-term natural in aquatic environments. Our results indicated that O/C ratio was an alternative parameter carbonyl index (CI) quantitatively describe surface microplastics. The correlation model or CI versus time developed compared freshwater samples. Moreover, regression equation equilibrium adsorption capacity altered average size proposed. first effort differentiating relationships between time/adsorption microplastics, which would be helpful for predicting weathering degree accumulation hydrophilic antibiotics onto aged research develops promising strategies accelerate reactions using advanced oxidation processes, provide further assess microplastic pollution actual
