Summary: The study aims to investigate the composition, quantity, and spatial distribution of microplastics in Italian seawaters, as well as the distribution of microplastics between surface and subsurface water layers. The results show that microplastics concentrations decrease with coastal distance, and the amount of surface microplastics is almost four times that of subsurface microplastics.

Summary: The increasing demand and use of plastics have led to the concentration of microplastics in water bodies, posing threats to aquatic life and human health. Various water sources, including fresh, marine, and sewage, have been found to contain microplastics. Raman spectroscopy has been proven to be an essential tool in identifying the chemical composition of microplastics in water sources.

Summary: A wide variety of pollutants in water are difficult to remove due to their chemical composition and properties. Superhydrophobic surfaces have emerged as an innovative technology for environmental applications, showing promise in removing emerging pollutants. The number of articles on superhydrophobic surfaces for environmental applications is increasing, indicating the interest in this area. Superhydrophobic materials have been found to efficiently remove oils, microplastics, dyes, heavy metals, and ethanol. Future challenges of these applications are also discussed in the article.

Summary: Research findings indicate that the concentration and characteristics of microplastics vary significantly across different countries and regions, largely influenced by the local development level and economic structure. The migration paths of microplastics in inner and outer limnic ecosystems reveal the reasons for regional divergence in microplastics. Policy developments in various countries and regions emphasize the urgency of controlling microplastic pollution in lake systems.

Summary: The study finds that removing microplastics from wastewater is technically feasible and cost-effective, with the use of a membrane bioreactor combined with sludge incineration being the most efficient option. This provides a basis for expanding government regulation to include microplastics in wastewater treatment plants, but policy targeting companies using microplastics is necessary to ultimately solve the problem.

A reference material for polyethylene terephthalate (PET) particles in water was prepared and evaluated for its homogeneity. The PET particles demonstrated good homogeneity in water, showing potential for large-scale inter-laboratory comparisons.

Summary: Microplastic pollution has attracted widespread attention, and this study found that MPs are present in both water and pipe scale samples from a drinking water treatment plant and distribution system. The concentrations of MPs in pipe scales were higher than in water, with predominant particles being 50-100 micrometers in size. Nylon and polyvinyl chloride were the most abundant MPs in water and pipe scale samples, respectively. The drinking water treatment plant and distribution system effectively prevent MPs from entering tap water, reducing the risk associated with MP pollution.

Summary: Bioplastics have the potential to contribute to a more sustainable and circular economy by reducing carbon footprint and offering advantageous material properties. However, they also face challenges such as negative agricultural impacts, competition with food production, unclear end-of-life management, and higher costs. Emerging chemical and biological methods can enable the upcycling of plastic waste into higher-quality materials. Standardization and guidelines are needed to guide purchasing choices, and clear regulations and financial incentives are essential for the large-scale adoption of bioplastics in a truly sustainable manner.

Summary: This study explores options to reduce future river export of microplastics to the Black Sea and develops five different reduction scenarios. The research finds that currently European rivers are responsible for over half of the microplastics in the Black Sea, while by 2050, Asian rivers will contribute 34-46% of the microplastic pollution. Advanced treatment methods and reductions in consumption or increased plastic collection could reduce microplastics in the sea by 40% by 2050. Combining these reduction options could result in an 84% reduction in sea pollution compared to today. These insights could inform environmental policies aimed at achieving a zero pollution future for the Black Sea.

This study conducts a review of microplastics, providing insight into their definition, characterization, and their presence in marine and food systems. The study reveals that plastic waste does not biodegrade but breaks down into small particles that can be ingested by organisms, posing potential risks to both human health and the environment.

Summary: This study investigates the influence of polyethylene (PE) microplastics on exoelectrogenic biofilm. The experiments reveal that an increase in PE microplastics concentration leads to a decline in current density and abundance of electroactive bacteria in the biofilm. The viability of the biofilm is also restrained by the presence of PE microplastics, resulting in higher system electrode resistance. Furthermore, microbial community richness and expression of electron transfer-related genes decrease after the addition of microplastics.

Summary: The complex relationship between humans and plastics has led to serious environmental and health threats. Despite the implementation of numerous policies and guidelines, there are still issues such as poor policy implementation, lack of impact assessment indicators, and inadequate regulation of plastic contamination in food and drinking water. Therefore, a coordinated effort at international and national levels is needed to translate policies into measurable actions to address all forms of plastic pollution.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of polyethylene and polyvinyl chloride microplastics on the UV inactivation of multidrug-resistant E. coli and enterococci in ultrapure water. The presence of microplastics resulted in slower or no inactivation of bacteria, indicating that microplastics protect the bacteria from UV exposure. The study also found that the magnitude of this effect varies with different types and particle sizes of microplastics.

Summary: This study provides a systematic literature review of Australia's plastic waste management system and finds that despite the exponential growth in plastic consumption, Australia's national recovery rate is only 11.5%. Household plastic waste accounts for nearly half of the total, with high-density polyethylene being the most commonly generated polymer. The market growth of biodegradable plastics is slower than expected. The construction sector consumes the largest quantity of recycled plastics, but only 10% of recycled materials are used locally across Australian industries. Implementing state-of-the-art processing facilities, diversified recycling technology, and policy reforms are necessary to address the plastic waste problem.

Summary: Microplastics (MPs) are a new and pervasive environmental pollutant with potential risks for human health and ecosystems. This study focuses on developing a standardized methodology to monitor MPs in water using a new particle counter, which was calibrated using different types of plastic particles. The presence of MPs in water samples was confirmed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis. The novel particle counter shows promise as a quantitative method to measure MP concentrations in water samples.

The influence of a local wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) on the abundance of MPs in different compartments of the lake area was also investigated. Results showed that MPs concentrations were highest in sediment samples near the WWTP discharge site, while there was no significant trend in lake water samples. Microplastic fibers were found to be more abundant in sediment than in water, with the majority identified as polyester. The abundance of MPs was also found to have slightly increased over the past 30 years.

Summary: The impact of floods on waste management facilities can result in the release of micro pollutants, including microplastics, into freshwater systems, posing concerns for the marine environment, agricultural ecosystems, and human health. In the UK, nearly 5 million tonnes of waste per day are at risk of releasing microplastics during floods. Further research is needed to develop site-specific mitigation measures and containment systems to reduce the mobilization of microplastics from waste management facilities during floods.
