Sodium hypochlorite as an oxidizing agent for removal of soil organic matter before microplastics analyses

Anna Bottone et al.

Summary: This study assessed the feasibility of using sodium hypochlorite for analysis and characterization of microplastics in soil environments, and investigated the factors affecting microplastic recovery, such as size, polymer type, extraction method, and soil matrix. The results showed that sodium hypochlorite effectively removed soil organic matter without altering the surface properties of microplastics, improving their detection in soil.

Evidence of underestimation in microplastic research: A meta-analysis of recovery rate studies

Chloe Way et al.

Summary: Research on microplastics in the environment is of high interest globally, with a focus on the accuracy and reliability of isolation methods. Recovery studies involve spiking test media with plastics to validate new methods. A meta-analysis of 71 recovery rate studies found variation in recovery rates, indicating a potential underestimation of microplastics in the environment. Recommendations were made to improve the quality, use, and reporting of recovery rate studies for standardization and replication in microplastic research.

A review of the use of microplastics in reconstructing dated sedimentary archives

Jake Martin et al.

Summary: The literature on microplastic loading inventories in dated sedimentary and soil profiles is limited, with microplastics being increasingly sequestered globally but also easily mobilised. The diversity of microplastic types, issues with source points, and contamination from researcher-derived microplastics have hindered interpretation of depositional settings. Further research with high quality data sets and transparent reporting will be necessary to validate microplastics as a sediment dating method.

A straightforward method for microplastic extraction from organic-rich freshwater samples

Silvia S. Monteiro et al.

Summary: The study aimed to develop efficient methods for water volume reduction and organic matter removal in freshwater samples, focusing on reducing economic and environmental costs, maintaining microplastics integrity and avoiding contamination. Centrifugation at appropriate speeds proved to be effective in settling impurities and preserving microplastics. The use of sodium hypochlorite showed high rates of organic matter removal without negatively impacting polymer identification. These methods are significant for microplastic analysis in organic-rich freshwater samples.

Process analysis of microplastic degradation using activated PMS and Fenton reagents

Bin Liu et al.

Summary: The degradation mechanisms of nylon 6 (PA6) and polystyrene (PS) microplastics (MPs) were studied using different oxidative agents. The findings confirmed the oxidation and polymer chain scission of the MPs, and emphasized the importance of using multiple analytic methods in tandem to evaluate the degradation of environmental MPs.

Environmental microplastics (EMPs) exposure alter the differentiation potential of mesenchymal stromal cells

Hana Najahi et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of different size microplastics present in water bottles on human mesenchymal stromal cells. The results showed that microplastic treatments led to a decrease in cell proliferation, altered differentiation potential, and loss of osteocyte phenotype. This indicates that environmental microplastics can be bioavailable for cell uptake and may result in irreversible diseases.
