Separation and identification of nanoplastics in tap water

Yu Li et al.

Summary: This study focused on the separation and identification of nanoplastics in tap water, showing the presence of polyolefins, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride, polyamide, and some plastic additives. The abundance of nanoplastics in the range of 58-255 nm was found to be 1.67-2.08 μg/L in tap water, indicating a potential threat to the health of residents.

Millions of microplastics released from a biodegradable polymer during biodegradation/enzymatic hydrolysis

Xin-Feng Wei et al.

Summary: In this study, it was found that enzymatic hydrolysis of a biodegradable polyester in an aqueous environment resulted in the formation of a large number of microplastic particles. Non-enzymatic hydrolysis was also observed but did not produce particles within the experimental timeframe. The formation of microplastics was attributed to the uneven hydrolysis/erosion rate across the polymer film surface, resulting in the release of fragmented micro-sized protruding structures. Additionally, acidic monomers and oligomers were released during the enzymatic hydrolysis process, causing a decrease in pH. These findings highlight the significant risk of microplastic pollution from biodegradable plastics.

From Adsorption to Precipitation of U(VI): What is the Role of pH and Natural Organic Matter?

Carmen A. Velasco et al.

Summary: The study found that natural organic matter (NOM) promotes the precipitation of U(VI) at low pH, which could be relevant to the formation of mineral deposits, radioactive waste repositories, wetlands, and other U- and organic-rich environmental systems. Adsorption and precipitation of U(VI) in the presence of NOM occur at pH 2 and pH 4, while aqueous complexation of U by dissolved organic matter is favored at pH 7, preventing its precipitation. Spectroscopic analyses showed that U(VI) is mainly adsorbed to particulate organic matter at pH 4, but electron microscopy identified U(VI)-bearing ultrafine to nanocrystalline solids at pH 4.

Nanoplastic-Induced Genotoxicity and Intestinal Damage in Freshwater Benthic Clams (Corbicula fluminea): Comparison with Microplastics

Zhenling Li et al.

Summary: The study found that nanoplastics preferentially trigger processes related to cellular components and induce apoptosis through the mitochondrial pathway in various tissues, especially in indirectly contacted tissues, while microplastics induce innate immune response and activate complement and coagulation cascades. Both types of plastics can cause inflammation and epithelial damage in the intestines, and notably alter the gut microbial community structure. Unlike microplastics, the impact of nanoplastics on the intestinal microflora is limited, but it can cause more severe damage to the intestinal mucosal barrier.
