Lifetime prediction of non-woven face masks in ocean and contributions to microplastics and dissolved organic carbon

Chunzhao Chen et al.

Summary: This study explores the degradation behavior of disposable face masks in simulated seawater through accelerated aging experiments. The release rates of microplastics (MPs) and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) from the masks are influenced by temperature and time. The time-temperature superposition principle is used to estimate the degradation time and predict the release of MPs and DOC into the ocean in the future.

Impact of microplastics on the foraging, photosynthesis and digestive systems of submerged carnivorous macrophytes under low and high nutrient concentrations

Hongwei Yu et al.

Summary: The study revealed that under high concentrations of microplastics, the growth rate and chlorophyll content of the aquatic carnivorous plant Utricularia vulgaris decreased, while the enzyme activities of superoxide dismutase and peroxidase increased significantly. High nutrient concentrations could compensate for the growth reduction caused by microplastic exposure. Microplastic treatments altered the trap-associated microbial community structure significantly.

Addition of biodegradable microplastics alters the quantity and chemodiversity of dissolved organic matter in latosol

Miao Chen et al.

Summary: The presence of biodegradable microplastics in soil affects the chemodiversity of dissolved organic matter (DOM), leading to changes in the quantity and composition of soil DOM. The addition of poly (butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) to tropical latosol increased microbial and exoenzyme activities, resulting in a shift in soil DOM chemodiversity. The study identified three mechanisms driving this shift, including the release of aromatic molecules from PBAT degradation, selective consumption of native nitrogen-rich molecules by soil microbes, and enzymatic transformation of native aliphatic and cellulose compounds. The concentration of PBAT also influenced the molecular shift in DOM chemodiversity.

Summary: Microplastics have significant effects on greenhouse gas emissions, nutrient cycling, and microbial communities in freshwater sediment systems. Different diameters of microplastics particles can lead to different effects, such as increased carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide emissions for smaller diameter particles, and increased carbon dioxide emissions for larger diameter particles. Microplastics also alter the organic carbon content in sediment and increase the abundance of microorganisms capable of degrading complex organics.

Summary: Anthropogenic pressures, such as microplastics pollution and climate change, have unpredictable consequences on soil ecosystem functioning. This study found that polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) stimulated microbial biomass and enzyme activity, altering soil quality and ecosystem multifunctionality, but also promoted N immobilization and plant-microbe nutrient competition, reducing plant health. PVC and PE had limited effects on soil quality and plant health. Furthermore, heat stress had a more noticeable impact than microplastics.

Summary: Microplastics, as an emerging pollutant, pose a serious threat to the environment. They have the capability to affect the cycles of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus in ecosystems, particularly in the soil environment. By influencing activities of plants and animals, gene abundance, enzyme activity, and microbial community composition, microplastics can alter carbon sources, CO2 emissions, nitrogen sources, and phosphorus content, causing significant disruptions in elemental cycling processes. Future research should focus on the interaction of various types of microplastics and their influencing factors on elemental cycling processes.

Multidecadal records of microplastic accumulation in the coastal sediments of the East China Sea

Jia Lin et al.

Summary: Microplastics are an emerging hazard in the marine environment, with a multidecadal increasing trend of accumulation in coastal sediments since the 1960s, possibly due to plastic waste release and oceanographic dynamics. The exponential growth breakpoint of microplastics in the East China Sea in 2000 AD coincides with the rapid increase in plastic production and consumption in China. The study also reveals the insignificant contribution (<2% before 2014 AD) but potentially-increasing (6.8% by 2025 AD) impact of microplastics on carbon burial in the East China Sea.

Contribution of Microplastics to Carbon Storage in Coastal Wetland Sediments

Zhaoliang Chen et al.

Summary: The study reveals that microplastics are primarily concentrated in surface sediment and vegetated coastal sediments. Currently, carbon from microplastics contributes between 0.001% and 1.197% to sediment carbon pool at different depths. Despite the low contribution, microplastics have already had a hidden impact on coastal sediment carbon stock. These data help establish a baseline for the contributions of microplastics to total carbon storage in peri-urban coastal sediments.

Summary: Plastic pollution has become a global issue, prompting us to consider plastics as emergent geomaterials never before seen in Earth's history. With high carbon content, plastics can rival natural organic carbon in some ecosystems, prompting geochemists to include plastics in their analyses to expedite understanding of plastics in the Earth system. Furthermore, plastics can serve as global-scale tracers to advance Earth system science.
