Abstract

Microplastics (MPs) have become a significant environmental concern, but data on their presence in potato gardens are limited. This study aims to identify and quantify MPs in soil, organic fertilizer, irrigation water, and potato plants in potato gardens. Soil, fertilizer, irrigation water, and potato samples were collected from potato fields. Analysis was carried out using a microscope and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) to identify the shape, color, quantity, and type of MP polymer. The results indicate significant MPs contamination with the most dominant shape of fibers (86%) and fragments (8%), dominant color black (35%) and blue (27%), abundances of MPs 0.10–9.20 g⁻¹, as well as the presence of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) polymers. These MPs have the potential to harm plant growth and soil quality. MPs are found in significant quantities in potato gardens and have the potential to disrupt agricultural ecosystems. The presence of MPs in potato gardens can affect the quality of agricultural products and human health throughout the food chain.

马铃薯种植园的水、土壤、有机肥和马铃薯植株中的微塑料含量

微塑料（MPs）已成为一个重要的环境问题，但有关其在马铃薯园中存在的数据却很有限。本研究旨在识别和量化马铃薯园中土壤、有机肥、灌溉水和马铃薯植株中的微塑料。研究人员从马铃薯田中采集了土壤、肥料、灌溉水和马铃薯样本。使用显微镜和傅立叶变换红外光谱（FTIR）进行分析，以确定 MP 聚合物的形状、颜色、数量和类型。结果表明，MPs 污染严重，最主要的形状为纤维（86%）和碎片（8%），主要颜色为黑色（35%）和蓝色（27%），MPs 的丰度为 0.10-9.20 g-1，并且存在聚对苯二甲酸乙二酯（PET）和高密度聚乙烯（HDPE）聚合物。这些 MPs 有可能危害植物生长和土壤质量。在马铃薯种植园中发现了大量的 MPs，并有可能破坏农业生态系统。马铃薯种植园中存在的 MP 会影响整个食物链中的农产品质量和人类健康。
