Summary

Agricultural soils in Xinjiang, China, were surveyed for microplastic contamination, revealing widespread presence in major farming regions where plastic mulch films and irrigation systems are heavily used. The study provides one of the first regional-scale assessments of microplastic pollution in this important agricultural area.

A large number of plastic products are used in the process of agricultural production, and the recycling efficiency is low, which leads to the production of a large number of microplastics. Therefore, the microplastic contamination in agricultural areas requires being investigated urgently. In addition, the occurrence characteristics of microplastics are also different in agricultural areas with various land use modes. In this study, the main agricultural areas in Xinjiang are taken as the research object. The abundance of microplastics in the main agricultural areas in Xinjiang ranges from 288 to 1452 items/kg. The shape of microplastics is mainly bulks, and white microplastics account for the highest proportion, and the majority of their sizes are less than 0.5 mm. The risk assessment results show that the contamination risk index of microplastics in this area is 108.92 and the risk level is grade III. The research shows that there is little difference in the abundance of microplastics between paddy field and garden land, which may be because there are few sources of microplastics in the land of these two utilization modes, and the potential pollution sources are similar, such as the atmospheric deposition of microplastics, the falling of fibers on people's clothes during farming, and the agricultural use of sludge. This study can provide a reference for further study on the existing circumstances of microplastics in agricultural areas.
