Summary

This review examined research on the combined pollution of microplastics and typical agricultural pollutants including pesticides, heavy metals, and fertilizers in agroecosystems. The paper discussed how co-existing pollutants interact with microplastics to create compound pollution with elevated ecological and human health risks.

As a new type of environmental persistent pollutant, microplastics can not only have adverse effects on the ecosystem but also form complex pollution with co-existing pollutants in the surrounding environment, resulting in higher ecological and health risks. Based on the perspective of agroecosystems, this study focused on the combined pollution of heavy metals, pesticides, and antibiotics, which are three typical pollutants of farmland soil, as well as microplastics and discussed the adsorption-desorption behavior of heavy metals, pesticides, and antibiotics on microplastics. The influence of the structure and properties of microplastics, the physicochemical properties of pollutants, and environmental conditions on the adsorption and desorption behavior of heavy metals, pesticides, and antibiotics on microplastics was discussed. The influence of microplastics on the bioavailability of heavy metals, pesticides, and antibiotics in farmland soil and the internal mechanism were expounded. The existing problems and shortcomings of current research were pointed out, and the future research direction was proposed. This study can provide a scientific reference for ecological risk assessment of the combined pollution of microplastics and typical pollutants in farmland soil.
