Recent Research on Municipal Sludge as Soil Fertilizer in China: a Review

Bo Zhang et al.

Summary: Due to the increase in wastewater treatment in Chinese cities, there is a major environmental issue of treatment, disposal, and recycling of municipal sludge. Municipal sludge, rich in carbon and essential nutrients, is being studied as a soil fertilizer, but it also has drawbacks such as potentially toxic elements, organic matter, and pathogens. The use of municipal sludge as a soil fertilizer is sustainable, but repeated use may harm the environment and human health, thus long-term field studies are required to find solutions.

Informal landfill contributes to the pollution of microplastics in the surrounding environment

Yong Wan et al.

Summary: This study investigates the characteristics of microplastic pollution in an informal landfill in South China. The results indicate that a large amount of microplastics are present in the landfill refuse and underlying soil, with most of them being fibrous, small sized, and transparent. The microplastics detected in the landfill leachate and groundwater are even smaller and more diverse in polymer types. The study demonstrates that microplastics from informal landfills can leak out to the surrounding environment.

Preliminary Study on the Distribution, Source, and Ecological Risk of Typical Microplastics in Karst Groundwater in Guizhou Province, China

Xianjin An et al.

Summary: The research discovered that the abundance of microplastics in karst groundwater is moderate, with unique characteristics in terms of size, type, color, and chemical composition. Rainfall events have a significant impact on the abundance and migration of microplastics in karst groundwater, and strong soil erosion in karst areas may be one of the main sources of microplastics.

Distribution and transport of microplastics in groundwater (Shiraz aquifer, southwest Iran)

Atefeh Esfandiari et al.

Summary: This study detected microplastic particles in an alluvial aquifer in a semi-arid region, with an average concentration of 0.48 particles per liter. The dominant polymers were polystyrene, polyethylene, and polyethylene terephthalate. The study suggests that consuming potable groundwater may contribute to microplastic exposure through ingestion.

River-Groundwater Interaction and Recharge Effects on Microplastics Contamination of Groundwater in Confined Alluvial Aquifers

Edoardo Severini et al.

Summary: This study aims to develop an efficient and cost-effective method to extract and evaluate microplastics in a sedimentary aquifer based on the hydrogeological characteristics of the area. The findings show that microplastics in groundwater have higher circularity and Feret diameter compared to those in surface waters, indicating that their shape plays a more significant role in transport in porous aquifers. Additionally, aquifer recharge does not alter the characteristics of microplastics in groundwater.

Good field practice and hydrogeological knowledge are essential to determine reliable concentrations of microplastics in groundwater

Jin-Yong Lee et al.

Summary: There are weaknesses in the methodology of the original paper, as important information related to groundwater sampling procedure and landfill description is missing. Additionally, significant data related to groundwater is skipped, which is fundamental in groundwater studies. A clear diagram of landfill location and sampling wells should be provided for better understanding of microplastic pollution in the surrounding environment.

Microplastics contamination in groundwater of a drinking-water source area, northern China

Bin Wu et al.

Summary: This study investigated the occurrence and distribution of microplastics in shallow groundwater in an important water source district in Tianjin city, northern China. The results revealed the widespread contamination of microplastics in the groundwater samples, with abundance correlated to human activities. The findings are important for assessing the potential ecological effects on water quality safety and human health caused by microplastics.

High abundance of microplastics in groundwater in Jiaodong Peninsula, China

Hongyu Mu et al.

Summary: This study investigated the presence of microplastics in groundwater in the Jiaodong Peninsula in China, revealing the detection of microplastics in all sampled groundwater sites. The abundance of microplastics was found to be correlated to the distances between sampling sites and anthropogenic activities, emphasizing the importance of counting small microplastics in groundwater assessments.

Abundance and characteristics of microplastics in soils with different agricultural practices: Importance of sources with internal origin and environmental fate

Seung-Kyu Kim et al.

Summary: The occurrence of microplastics in agricultural soils is influenced by internal sources and external environmental factors, with different types of soils showing unique MP abundance and characteristics. High PE sheet appearance indicates significant input of MPs through the fragmentation of applied PE film or surface runoff, while a drastic decline in small-sized MPs in MS > RS > GS-out suggests significant removal of MPs through surface runoff and/or infiltration.

Summary: This study investigated the distribution of microplastics in soil in the eastern area of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, revealing significant differences in abundance among different land use types. Microplastics were mainly in the form of film and transparent in color, with polyester and polypropylene as dominant polymers in the soil samples. The study provides important data for further research on microplastics in plateau terrestrial ecosystems.

Microplastic contamination is ubiquitous in riparian soils and strongly related to elevation, precipitation and population density

Yanfei Zhou et al.

Summary: The study reveals the presence of microplastic contamination in soils along the Yangtze River, with higher levels of microplastics in subsoils compared to topsoils. Polyamide is the most commonly found polymer, and small microplastic particles dominate subsoil samples. Microfragments are the most common type of microplastic particle, and the contamination is positively correlated with population and precipitation but negatively correlated with elevation.
