In areas with large amounts of cigarette waste, environmental hazards may arise due to the leaching of chemicals from filters and smoked tobacco. Accurately estimating the number of CBs on beaches requires a standardized method. Additionally, estimating the release of metals from these pollutants can provide important insights into beach pollution. This study compares two sampling methods to estimate CB waste on recreational beaches and evaluate the potential release of metals. In this combined experimental and meta-analysis study, circular methods with diameters of 5, 10, and 15 m were compared to a Flood Accumulation Zone (FAZ) method (1 m by 10 m, parallel to the waterline). Systematic study methods and meta-analysis were applied to estimate the release of metals along the Caspian Sea beaches. The Kruskal-Wallis test revealed significant differences in the averages of at least one sampling method (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.006). Follow-up Mann-Whitney <em>U</em> tests showed no significant differences among the circular methods, but all circular methods significantly differed from the FAZ method (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.05). The difference between the circular methods was smaller than the difference with the FAZ method. The minimum and maximum metal concentrations, in micrograms per square meter of Caspian Sea beaches, were associated with mercury and manganese. Circular methods with different diameters did not significantly differ and are effective in reducing CB accumulation due to coastal waves and wind. These methods can be considered standard for estimating CBs on beaches. Cigarette waste acts as a point source of metal pollution, with rapid leaching of metals increasing the risk of acute harm to coastal and marine organisms.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":18215,"journal":{"name":"Marine pollution bulletin","volume":"211 ","pages":"Article 117416"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142817899","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mechanical tests indicated that the PBS/PBAT braid was about half as strong as high-density polyethylene (HDPE) but was suitable for braiding and netting. After 3 years in seawater, PBS/PBAT monofilaments showed biotic degradation, with strength losses of 20 % at 15 °C and 80 % at 25 °C. This suggests that gear made from this polymer would degrade faster than conventional gear if lost.

However, most studies conducted in the Mediterranean Sea have focused on monitoring of only specific environmental compartments, and rarely have highlighted the overall impacts affecting an area. Therefore, using a new multi-compartment monitoring approach and a standardized methodology, this study investigates the abundance, distribution, composition and impact of marine litter on beaches, surface waters, fish and mussels in a coastal area of Tuscany (Italy). Concerning beach macro litter values, significant differences were found among the three beaches analysed, with the highest amount in the Feniglia beach (mean value = 1245 items/100 m). The top items found are cotton bud sticks (32.3 %), which in the winter survey at Feniglia beach, reached a remarkable density of 1983 items/100 m. Microlitter (1–5 mm), was detected in the beach sediments with a mean abundance of 130 items/m². Regarding floating macrolitter, the transect with the highest values was the Feniglia site at 3 nautical miles in autumn (1083 items/km²) while for floating microlitter the highest concentration (832,683 MPs/km²) was found in front of Scarlino. Of the 234 fish analysed from 5 different species, 67 contained microplastics in the gastrointestinal tract (28 %) with a mean value of 0.4 items per individual. The species with the highest occurrence was the European anchovy (<em>Engraulis encrasicolus</em>) (53 %) followed by the bogue (<em>Boops boops</em>) (40 %). Through the application of the Marine Litter Impact Index (MLII), considering all the compartments analysed, the Feniglia area emerges as the ecosystem most impacted by marine litter (mean MLII = 3.5, high).

The dynamic adsorption process of SMX related with the physicochemical property changes of SPM, which was contributed to the hydrogen bonds, π–π interactions, surface complexation, significantly influenced by the pore filling at the macropore and mesopore scales.
