Microplastic migration in porous media at various scales: a review
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed how microplastics move through porous media like soil and sediment across multiple spatial scales, finding that particle surface properties and environmental conditions both influence migration but remain poorly understood. Better understanding of this process is critical for assessing how microplastics spread through terrestrial and groundwater environments.
Unveiling Impact of Polyamide Microplastics on Ceftiofur Sodium Migration in Porous Media: Experimental and Modeling Insights
AI summary Read the abstract
Laboratory experiments showed that polyamide microplastics in soil slow the movement of the antibiotic ceftiofur sodium through porous ground layers, retaining more of the drug as microplastic concentrations increase. This matters because microplastics could extend the persistence of antibiotics in agricultural soils, potentially worsening antibiotic resistance in soil microbes and groundwater.
Microplastic and Silica Colloid Transport in a Saturated Porous Medium Under Various Flow Directions: the Effect of Gravity
AI summary Read the abstract
Lab column experiments showed that gravity and flow direction significantly affect how microplastic and silica microspheres are transported and retained in saturated sandy media, with upward flow causing roughly twice the particle deposition compared to downward flow. Understanding these transport dynamics is essential for predicting how microplastics spread through groundwater systems and ultimately reach drinking water sources.
Relevance of Iron Oxyhydroxide and Pore Water Chemistry on the Mobility of Nanoplastic Particles in Water-Saturated Porous Media Environments
AI summary Read the abstract
Laboratory column experiments showed that iron oxyhydroxide surface charge in porous media is a primary control on nanoplastic mobility, with positively charged surfaces trapping negatively charged polystyrene nanoparticles and negatively charged surfaces allowing free transport. Understanding these transport mechanisms in aquifers and sediments is essential for predicting how long nanoplastics persist and where they accumulate in groundwater environments.
Transport of Colloidal Microplastics Through Porous Media
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers conducted column experiments to study how polystyrene microbeads move through quartz sand media, finding that microplastics are retarded by solid-phase sorption and hypothesizing that transport is most efficient through coarse-grained, well-sorted soils, with implications for predicting microplastic fate in terrestrial environments.
