Investigating the effects of biodegradable microplastics and copper ions on probiotic (Bacillus amyloliquefaciens): Toxicity and application

Ruijin Li et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effect and mechanism of biodegradable plastics on the growth and metabolism of probiotic bacteria. The results showed that polylactic acid microplastics caused oxidative damage and inhibited cell growth, but did not increase the toxicity of copper to bacteria. Instead, it triggered mechanisms to help bacteria resist the toxicity of copper.

Plastic photodegradation under simulated marine conditions

Annalisa Delre et al.

Summary: Ocean plastic pollution is a growing problem, but the actual amount of plastic at the sea surface is lower than expected. UV radiation can induce photodegradation, resulting in the release of dissolved organic carbon and other gases. Based on their findings, the authors conclude that solar UV radiation may have already degraded a significant percentage of floating plastic in the ocean.

Transformation of microplastics by oxidative water and wastewater treatment processes: A critical review

Yeonseo Jeong et al.

Summary: Microplastics (MPs) are emerging contaminants that pose threats to the environment and human health. Efficient treatment methods are needed at wastewater treatment plants and drinking water treatment plants. This review explores the potential of various oxidation processes in treating MPs, but many of them have not been widely applied due to cost and lack of research.

Tracking nanoplastics in freshwater microcosms and their impacts to aquatic organisms

Miguel Tamayo-Belda et al.

Summary: In this study, palladium-doped polystyrene NPLs (PS-NPLs) with irregular surface morphology were used to assess their toxicity on cyanobacterium, green algae, and crustacean. The EC50 concentration for D. magna was 49 mg NPLs/L, while for C. reinhardtii it was 248 mg NPLs/L. PS-NPLs induced reactive oxygen species overproduction, membrane damage, and metabolic alterations in a dose-dependent manner. The distribution of PS-NPLs under static and stirring conditions was studied to understand their environmental fate.

Interactions of microplastics and organic compounds in aquatic environments: A case study of augmented joint toxicity

Andrey Ethan Rubin et al.

Summary: This study investigates the sorption and desorption potential of Triclosan (TCS) and microplastics (MPs) in simulated environmental and cellular conditions, and evaluates the toxicity of their interactions toward human cells. It finds that surface functionality of microbeads affects the adsorption capacity of TCS, and that TCS-sorbed MPs have significantly higher toxicity than pristine MPs when interacting with human cells. Overall, the co-presence of MPs and TrOCs poses risks to both the environment and human health.

New insights into the photo-degraded polystyrene microplastic: Effect on the release of volatile organic compounds

Xinyan Wu et al.

Summary: The excessive use of plastics has resulted in the widespread presence of plastic waste in our environment, which leads to the release of toxic chemicals, particularly volatile organic compounds (VOCs). This study investigated the release behavior of VOCs from polystyrene microplastics (MPs) after exposure to simulated ultraviolet (UV) radiation. The results showed that UV irradiation enhanced the release of VOCs, with certain compounds increasing in concentration over time while others decreased. The study provides new insights into the photo-aging process of MPs.

From freshwaters to bivalves: Microplastic distribution along the Saint-Lawrence river-to-sea continuum

L. Rowenczyk et al.

Summary: Despite the importance of freshwaters to human health, the presence and fate of microplastics in marine estuaries have not been extensively studied. This research focused on the Saint-Lawrence River in Canada, analyzing surface water and marine bivalve samples along the river-to-sea continuum. The concentration of larger microplastics was higher in downstream areas compared to upstream areas, while the trend for smaller microplastics was less clear. Microplastics were also found in the digestive systems of bivalves, indicating their presence in the water column. This study provides valuable data on the fate of microplastics in a river-to-sea continuum.

Mediterranean microplastic contamination: Israel's coastline contributions

Andrey Ethan Rubin et al.

Summary: This study analyzes the current state of microplastic contamination along the Mediterranean coastline of Israel. Tel Aviv and Hadera, located near stream estuaries, were found to be highly contaminated compared to other locations. The microplastics detected included both secondary microplastics and pristine polymeric pellets. The most common microplastic polymers were polyethylene and polypropylene. The study suggests that local rivers contribute significantly to microplastic contamination and may pose a direct threat to the environment and human health.

Plastic pollution in the Arctic

Melanie Bergmann et al.

Summary: Plastic debris and microplastics are widespread in the Arctic, even in areas without human activity. They come from various sources, both local and distant, and are transported to the Arctic by ocean currents, atmospheric transport, and rivers. Once in the Arctic, plastic pollution accumulates and affects local ecosystems.

Summary: This study provides an in-depth description of abandoned, lost or otherwise discarded fishing gear (ALDFG) on the beaches of the English Southwest Peninsula, with fishing rope and net identified as the largest emitters. ALDFG was found to be over five times more abundant on the south coast compared to the north coast, likely due to higher fishing intensity in the area.

Summary: This study examines the impact of Marine Microplastics (MPs) on turbulent entrainment, particle settling, and resuspension, as well as the size-selective accumulation of MPs in different marine regions. The challenges in classifying MP size are discussed due to the variability in polymer density and shape, in contrast to mineral sediments. The link between polymer properties and MP shape and size is explored, highlighting the complex relationship between hydrodynamic parameters and MP characteristics.

Life Cycle Assessment of Recycling High-Density Polyethylene Plastic Waste

Neeti Gandhi et al.

Summary: The increasing production and use of novel plastics products, combined with low recycling rates and a lack of effective recycling/disposal methods, have resulted in exponential growth of plastic waste in landfills and the environment. Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) shows that increasing plastic recycling can save energy and reduce harmful emissions, which can guide policies and future research towards effective solutions for the plastic waste problem. Efforts to improve current recycling processes and explore potential future methods, such as chemical recycling, may help address the concerns associated with plastic waste accumulation.
