Mechanism analysis of heavy metal lead captured by natural-aged microplastics

Qianmin Fu et al.

Summary: This paper investigates the mechanism of lead captured by naturally-aged microplastics in aqueous medium, finding that the organic film plays a crucial role in the adsorption process. The electrostatic interaction is identified as the main mechanism for lead capture by the microplastics.

Influence of polyethylene-microplastic on environmental behaviors of metals in soil

Ming Li et al.

Summary: The study found that when the concentration of PE-MPs in soil increased to 10%, the adsorption capacities of soil for Pb2+ and Zn2+ were significantly lower compared to pure soil. In addition, when the concentration of PE-MPs in soil increased to 10%, the extraction fraction of Zn2+ and Pb2+ by diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid was significantly higher, indicating that a high concentration of MPs in soil can decrease the adsorption capability of soil for metals and increase metal mobility in terrestrial environment. However, when the content of MPs in soil was 0.1%, there was no significant difference in the extraction fraction of Zn2+ and Pb2+ compared to pure soil, suggesting that actual MPs in soil are unlikely to significantly influence metal bioavailability.

Impacts of polyethylene microplastics on bioavailability and toxicity of metals in soil

Ming Li et al.

Summary: The study found that polyethylene microplastics increased the bioavailability of metals in soil and had toxic effects on earthworms. Metal concentrations in earthworms increased with the amount of microplastics in the soil, leading to changes in biomarkers and gene expression levels, causing toxicity to earthworms.
