Fate of microplastics in agricultural soils amended with sewage sludge: Is surface water runoff a relevant environmental pathway?*

Theresa Schell et al.

Summary: This study investigated the fate of MPs in agricultural soils amended with sewage sludge and the role of surface water runoff in transferring them to aquatic ecosystems. The study found that MP concentrations remain relatively constant in agricultural soils with low infiltration capacity, and surface water runoff only mobilized a very small percentage of MPs added with sludge. Agricultural soils in semi-arid regions can be considered as long-term accumulators of MPs.

Seasonal variations and feedback from microplastics and cadmium on soil organisms in agricultural fields

Xiaofeng Jiang et al.

Summary: Plastic film mulching is an important agricultural technology that can increase crop yield and maintain soil moisture. However, long-term use of plastic film can lead to plastic residues in soils, which can negatively affect soil organisms and crop quality. This study investigated the seasonal variations and correlations of microplastics and cadmium in farmland soils in Wuxi, China. The results showed that microplastics were abundant in the soils, with polyethylene microplastics being the main component. The abundance of microplastics in winter was significantly correlated with cadmium, indicating the potential risk of coexposure to soil organisms. The study also demonstrated the impact of microplastic heavy metal pollution on earthworms, suggesting that microplastics can act as vectors for heavy metal transfer in the soil environment.

Kinetics of microplastic generation from different types of mulch films in agricultural soil

Yang Yang et al.

Summary: Upon environmental weathering, plastic materials form smaller sized microplastics, with plastic mulch films being a major source of agricultural soil microplastic pollution. This study quantified the rate of microplastic generation from different types of mulch films under simulated UV irradiation. Results showed that biodegradable mulch film had the highest rate of microplastic formation, followed by oxodegradable, white PE, and black PE mulch films. The kinetics of microplastic generation followed Schwarzchild's law, and UV irradiation increased the crystallinity and surface erosion of the mulch films, affecting the quantity and size ranges of microplastic debris.

Microplastics identification and quantification in the composted Organic Fraction of Municipal Solid Waste

Carlos Edo et al.

Summary: Composted Organic Fraction of Municipal Solid Waste (OFMSW) is commonly used in agriculture as a source of organic matter and nutrients. In this study, the plastic impurities in the refined compost from five different OFMSW facilities were investigated. The results showed that smaller plants with door-to-door collection systems produced compost with less plastic contamination, while compost from large facilities fed by street bin collection had higher plastic contents. No residual debris from compostable bioplastics was found in any of the samples. These findings suggest that the use of compostable polymers and the implementation of door-to-door collection systems can help reduce plastic impurities in OFMSW compost.

Animal studies have shown that micro- and nanoplastics can cause various pathophysiological effects, including intestinal barrier compromise, organ accumulation, and gut dysbiosis.

Influence of Microplastics on the Mobility, Bioavailability, and Toxicity of Heavy Metals: A Review

Guangxia Liu et al.

Summary: This review discusses the effects of microplastics (MPs) on the adsorption/desorption, speciation and bioavailability, and toxicity of various heavy metals, while systematically identifying environmental factors that could affect their interaction processes. It aims to establish a meaningful perspective for understanding the indirect ecological risks of MPs as vectors for contaminants and provides a reference for developing better regulatory strategies to mitigate the negative effects of the co-existence of MPs and heavy metals.

Microplastic pollution in soils and groundwater: Characteristics, analytical methods and impacts

Jinsheng Huang et al.

Summary: Global concerns have been raised regarding microplastic (MP) pollution in recent decades, with existing studies mainly focusing on marine, freshwater, and sediment systems. Research attention on MP pollution in soils and groundwater is comparatively lower. This review systematically outlines the characteristics, analytical methods, and impacts of MPs in soils and groundwater, identifying knowledge gaps and suggesting future research directions.

Ecological risks in a 'plastic' world: A threat to biological diversity?

Evgenios Agathokleous et al.

Summary: Microplastics pollution is predicted to increase in the future, and it may have various impacts on biological communities, diversity, and ecosystem processes. The effects of microplastics on different taxa and microbial community composition can lead to potential threats to biodiversity. Additionally, microplastics pollution can alter biogeochemical cycles, greenhouse gas fluxes, and atmospheric chemistry, potentially impacting U.N. Sustainability Development Goals related to environmental quality and biodiversity conservation.

Disposable masks release microplastics to the aqueous environment with exacerbation by natural weathering

Zheng Wang et al.

Summary: The study found that disposable masks exposed to shoreline environments are susceptible to UV weathering and physical abrasion from sand, leading to the release of microplastic particles and increasing the risk to marine ecosystems.

LDPE microplastics affect soil microbial communities and nitrogen cycling

Lili Rong et al.

Summary: The study found that LDPE microplastics have impacts on soil bacterial diversity and nitrogen cycling function, with different concentrations of LDPE microplastics leading to changes in the enrichment of bacterial genera in soil and increased abundance of genes involved in nitrogen cycling.

Microplastics alter behavioural responses of an insect herbivore to a plant-soil system

Gabriele Rondoni et al.

Summary: The study shows that microplastics alter the attraction of female fungus gnats towards a plant-soil system. In laboratory conditions, plant-soil systems with high watering are more attractive due to the absence of microplastics, and the attractiveness of 5% HDPE plant-soil system can be restored by adding fungal colonies.
