Biochar as a Potential Tool for Addressing Microplastic Pollution: A Review
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers review biochar as a tool for adsorbing and immobilizing microplastics from environmental media, finding it significantly increases microplastic removal capacity, while cautioning that biochar can leach toxic compounds including PAHs and heavy metals, and calling for long-term studies and careful management before widespread application.
Removal of Emerging Contaminants Microplastics by Using Biochar Technology, a Review
AI summary Read the abstract
This review evaluated biochar technology as a method for removing microplastics from environmental matrices, assessing its adsorption capacity, mechanisms, and scalability as a remediation tool. Given that microplastics are toxic, persistent, and resistant to conventional treatment, biochar offers a promising low-cost intervention to reduce contamination in water and soil before particles enter the food chain.
Soil health and microplastics: a review of the impacts of microplastic contamination on soil properties
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed a decade of studies on microplastic contamination in soil and found that microplastics alter soil chemistry and biology in complex ways depending on plastic type and concentration, with impacts expected to worsen as global plastic production continues to rise.
