Microplastics in the environment: Occurrence, perils, and eradication

Surbhi Sharma et al.

Summary: Microplastics, with sizes smaller than 5 mm, are a major source of environmental pollution and pose hazards to marine species, birds, animals, soil creatures, and humans. This review discusses the damaging effects of microplastics on the environment and various removal techniques such as biodegradation, adsorption, and catalytic degradation. Advancements in methods like FTIR and SEM analysis are highlighted for monitoring structural changes during degradation processes.

Are microplastics correlated to phthalates in facility agriculture soil?

Qinglan Li et al.

Summary: The study revealed the presence of significant amounts of microplastics and phthalate esters in the soil of two agricultural areas in China, with greenhouse soil having higher microplastic content compared to non-greenhouse soil. Furthermore, a positive correlation between microplastics and phthalate esters was observed in one area but not in the other, indicating a complex relationship influenced by various environmental factors.

Adsorption of three pesticides on polyethylene microplastics in aqueous solutions: Kinetics, isotherms, thermodynamics, and molecular dynamics simulation

Hui Li et al.

Summary: This study investigated the adsorption characteristics of three pesticides on polyethylene microplastics under different conditions. The results showed that pH and NaCl salinity significantly affected the adsorption, which was mainly controlled by physical forces. The thermodynamic study indicated that the adsorption process was spontaneous, exothermic, and favored by elevated temperature.

Accurate Determination of Carbaryl, Carbofuran and Carbendazim in Vegetables by Isotope Dilution Liquid Chromatography/Tandem Mass Spectrometry

Seonghee Ahn et al.

Summary: An analytical method for the accurate determination of carbamate pesticides in vegetables was established using isotope dilution liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry technique. The method was validated to be reproducible, repeatable, and reliable, making it a candidate reference method for accurate determination of carbamate pesticides in vegetables.
