Occurrence and spatial distribution of microplastics, and their correlation with petroleum in coastal waters of Hainan Island, China*

Liu Gao et al.

Summary: This study systematically investigated the distribution, abundance, morphology, and composition of microplastics (MPs) in surface seawater and sediment of Hainan Island. The results showed that the abundance of MPs in seawater was similar to other areas of the South China Sea, while the abundance in sediment was higher. The predominant shape of MPs was linear and fragmented, with polyethylene terephthalate (PET) being the dominant polymer, possibly originating from laundry wastewater. The petroleum concentration was positively correlated with MPs pollution in seawater.

Seeking for a perfect (non-spherical) microplastic particle-The most comprehensive review on microplastic laboratory research

Ula Rozman et al.

Summary: This review summarizes the results of 715 laboratory studies published in the last five years on microplastics, finding that the majority of microplastic particles used are manufactured polystyrene spheres, with half of the studies failing to characterize the particles. There is also a discrepancy between microplastics used in the laboratory and those found in the environment, highlighting the need for more environmentally relevant research in the future.

The photodegradation processes and mechanisms of polyvinyl chloride and polyethylene terephthalate microplastic in aquatic environments: Important role of clay minerals

Ling Ding et al.

Summary: This study systematically investigated the photodegradation behaviors of PVC and PET in the presence of clay minerals. The results demonstrated that clay minerals, particularly kaolinite, significantly promoted the photodegradation of MPs, with a more pronounced effect on PET aging. Additionally, the study revealed that UV irradiation facilitated the photo-ionization reactions, leading to the generation of key reactive oxygen species contributing to the degradation of MPs.

Summary: The widespread use of plastics has led to a significant environmental issue of plastic pollution. While most studies have focused on microplastics in the marine environment, research on freshwater microplastics is less extensive. This article summarizes the research progress, identifies existing gaps, and draws novel conclusions regarding freshwater microplastics, providing useful information for further research. The review discusses the presence of microplastics in freshwater systems globally, as well as their biological effects on freshwater organisms, highlighting the need for more research on the ecological impacts of microplastic biofilms and the testing of different types of plastics.

Incubation habitats and aging treatments affect the formation of biofilms on polypropylene microplastics

Encui Shan et al.

Summary: This study explores the effects of microplastic aging and different aquatic habitats on biofilm formation and microbial community characteristics. The results indicate that aging can alter the surface structure and increase oxygen-containing groups of microplastics. The total biomass and alpha diversity of biofilms increase with exposure time. Microbes tend to adhere to aged microplastics, and genes related to human pathogens are expressed on aged microplastics. The study highlights the importance of aged microplastics and different habitats in microbial colonization and suggests potential ecological and health risks.

Fate of microplastics in deep-sea sediments and its influencing factors: Evidence from the Eastern Indian Ocean

Huaiyuan Qi et al.

Summary: This study explores the abundance, composition, and sources of microplastics (MPs) in the deep-sea sediments of the Eastern Indian Ocean (EIO). MPs were found in various compositions, with rayon and polyester being the most common. The spatial distribution of MPs decreases from nearshore to open sea. Anthropogenic activities, land and river sources, and fishing are the major contributors to MPs accumulation. The study provides important baseline data for understanding MPs pollution in the EIO.

Distribution of microplastics in soil and freshwater environments: Global analysis and framework for transport modeling

Vera S. Koutnik et al.

Summary: The concentration of microplastics in terrestrial environments can vary by up to eight orders of magnitude, with higher concentrations in inland locations such as glaciers and urban stormwater. Studies suggest that microplastic concentrations are lower in water bodies at terrestrial boundaries like estuaries. Fibers are preferentially transported to coastal sediments over inland water bodies, indicating potential differences in microplastic distribution patterns.

Microplastics act as vectors for antibiotic resistance genes in landfill leachate: The enhanced roles of the long-term aging process

Yinglong Su et al.

Summary: The study revealed that the aging process significantly altered the surface properties of MPs, increasing specific surface areas, forming oxygen-containing groups, and changing surface morphology, which further enhanced microbial colonization. The bacterial community on MPs showed higher biofilm-forming and pathogenic potential compared to leachate. Results also indicated selective enrichment of ARGs on MPs, with an enhancement in enrichment potential during the aging process. Co-occurrence networks suggested the presence of non-random, closer, and more stable ARGs-bacterial taxa relations on MP surface, influencing ARG transmission.

Summary: Microplastic pollution in the Minjiang River flowing through the Chengdu Plain was found to be serious, with varying abundances in water and sediments. Areas with high population and intense human activity tended to have higher levels of microplastic pollution, with larger-sized and fiber-like shapes. Densely populated urban areas were identified as sources of urban microplastics, while agricultural microplastics were associated with areas with large construction and high human activity intensity.
