Plastic pollution is ubiquitous in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. waste exposed to the environment creates problems of significant concern for all life forms. production accumulation natural are occurring at an unprecedented rate due indiscriminate use, inadequate recycling, deposits landfills. In 2019, global plastic was 370 million tons, with only 9% it being recycled, 12% incinerated, remaining left or The leakage wastes into ecosystems rate. management a challenging problem researchers, policymakers, citizens, other stakeholders. Therefore, here, we summarize current understanding concerns plastics (microplastics nanoplastics) on overall goal this review provide background assessment adverse effects ecosystems; interlink sustainable development goals; address policy initiatives under transdisciplinary approaches through cycle assessment, circular economy, sustainability; identify knowledge gaps; recommendations. community involvement socio-economic inputs different countries presented discussed. ban policies public awareness likely major mitigation interventions. need circularity assess potential environmental impacts resources used throughout product’s span emphasized.

Effect of different polymers of microplastics on soil organic carbon and nitrogen – A mesocosm experiment

Environmental Research, Год журнала: 2021, Номер 204, С. 111938 - 111938

Опубликована: Авг. 31, 2021

Agricultural microplastic pollution has become a growing concern. Unfortunately, the impacts of microplastics (MPs) on agricultural soil carbon and nitrogen dynamics have not been sufficiently reported. In an attempt to remedy this, we conducted 105-day out-door mesocosm experiment in soil-plant system using sandy soils amended with two types MPs, low-density polyethylene (LDPE-MPs) biodegradable (Bio-MPs), at concentrations 0.0% (control), 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%, 2.0% 2.5% (w/w, weight ratio air-dry soil). Soil organic matter (SOM), dissolved (DOC), permanganate oxidizable (POXC), available (AN) N-NH4+ N-NO3−, (DON) were measured day 46 (D46) 105 (D105) experiment. SOM was also after mixed into (D0). For LDPE-MPs treatments, D0, D46 D105 showed no significant differences, while for Bio-MPs significantly (p < 0.05) decreased from D0 D46. Compared control, POXC = 0.001) lowered by 1.0% ≥ D105. effects DOC cycling. higher DON (on D105) ≥1.5% lower 0.02) AN D46). Overall, exerted stronger conclusion, might pose serious threats agroecosystems further research is needed.
