Aggregation and Aggregate Strength of Microscale Plastic Particles in the Presence of Natural Organic Matter: Effects of Ionic Valence

AI summary Read the abstract

Calcium ions promote stronger aggregation of polyethylene microplastic particles in the presence of natural organic matter through divalent bridging, producing more cohesive aggregates than monovalent potassium ions. Understanding how microplastics aggregate under different water chemistry conditions is important for predicting their transport, sedimentation, and bioavailability in natural aquatic environments.

Methodologies for Microplastics Recovery and Identification in Heterogeneous Solid Matrices: A Review

AI summary Read the abstract

Researchers reviewed existing methods for extracting and identifying microplastics from solid environmental matrices such as soil, compost, sediment, and sludge, highlighting the lack of a standardized protocol as a key barrier to progress. Without consistent methodology, it is difficult to compare findings across studies or to set informed regulatory limits for microplastics in agricultural soils.
