Preferential transport of microplastics by wind

Joanna E. Bullard et al.

Summary: Studies have shown that wind transport is more effective in mobilizing microplastic particles compared to sand and soil. In wind erosion experiments, microplastic fibers were found to have lower enrichment compared to microbeads, with soil showing higher enrichment levels of microplastic fibers compared to sand, suggesting the need to carefully parameterize microplastic shape in models of atmospheric microplastic transport.

Microplastics occurrence and frequency in soils under different land uses on a regional scale

Fabio Corradini et al.

Summary: This study reveals the presence of microplastic pollution in soils under different land uses in the central valley of Chile, with agricultural activities being a potential major source. Contrary to common belief, the distance to mining operations, roads, or urban areas did not increase the microplastic particles count.

Soil erosion as transport pathway of microplastic from agriculture soils to aquatic ecosystems

Raphael Rehm et al.

Summary: This study focused on the erosion and transport processes of microplastics (MP) from agricultural topsoils during heavy rainfall events. The experiments revealed a preferential transport of MP with increasing interaction with mineral soil particles or aggregates leading to a more conservative transport behavior over time. The findings suggest that arable land prone to soil erosion can be a significant source of MP for aquatic ecosystems.

Occurrence, distribution and affecting factors of microplastics in agricultural soils along the lower reaches of Yangtze River, China

Lu Cao et al.

Summary: Microplastics are abundant in agricultural soils along the lower reaches of Yangtze River and estuary, predominantly originating from road input. Soil pH and texture are common factors affecting microplastic abundance.

Distribution characteristics of microplastics in agricultural soils from the largest vegetable production base in China

Lu Yu et al.

Summary: The study area in Shouguang City, Shandong Province is the largest greenhouse vegetable production base in Northern China. The research found that small-sized microplastics tend to migrate to deeper soil layers and that soil texture can affect the distribution of microplastics in local agricultural soils.

Microplastics in the Lut and Kavir Deserts, Iran

Sajjad Abbasi et al.

Summary: This study isolated microplastics from soils collected from the Kavir and Lut Deserts on the Iranian plateau, with most of them having a fibrous nature and being composed of polyethylene terephthalate and Nylon. The majority of microplastics are likely brought into these desert environments from distant sources via wind, undergoing rapid transport, internal recycling, as well as significant photo-oxidation and mechanical weathering.

Microplastics in soil: A review on methods, occurrence, sources, and potential risk

Ling Yang et al.

Summary: Microplastic is a global emerging contaminant in soil with widespread distribution and potential risks. Challenges in research include technical inconsistencies, limited data, and sparse studies in certain regions. Interaction between microplastics and other contaminants in soil may impact soil ecosystems and the food chain.

Microplastics in Agricultural Soils: A Case Study in Cultivation of Watermelons and Canning Tomatoes

Ekavi A. Isari et al.

Summary: The study found that the soil samples from fields with watermelon cultivation had a higher concentration of microplastics compared to fields with canning tomatoes, due to double planting each year and the closer proximity of the second planting to the sampling time. All samples were collected from agricultural fields away from industrial areas, indicating that agricultural activities may have caused soil contamination with microplastics.

Quantitative evaluation of non-active land input of microplastics: A case of PET polymer

Junjie Zhang et al.

Summary: This study investigated the presence and input fluxes of PET polymers in atmospheric dustfall and sewage sludge samples collected in Tianjin, China. PET accounts for one-third of total plastics in China with an annual consumption of 37.5 million tons, and the study found significant concentrations of PET in environmental samples, indicating potential ecological risks from the deposition and discharge of PET MPs in the terrestrial environment.
