Understanding MP sources, variability, and behaviour in urban runoff remains challenging due to their diverse origins and dynamic transport processes. Flood events accelerate the mobilisation of MPs, redistributing particles across catchments and ecosystems. Processes like fragmentation, ageing, and retention alter MPs’ size, shape, and surface properties, influencing their transport, accumulation, and interactions in different environments. This opinion article examines the potential of MP profiling to evaluate the extent and pathways of surface-groundwater interactions in urbanizing landscapes, with a focus on flood impacts. The study further highlights the coexistence of MPs with other pollutants and their potential infiltration into groundwater. Through analysis of microplastic contaminant loads, composition, and transport during and after flood events, this opinion demonstrates their dual function as markers of flood occurrences and tools for evaluating hydrological connectivity altered by urban development. The findings highlight the promise of MP hydro(bio)logy as a sensitive, cost-effective approach for integrated water management, improved flood impact assessment, and the formulation of urban planning strategies tailored to mitigate environmental risks in rapidly changing catchments.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":52296,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Environmental Science and Health","volume":"49 ","pages":"Article 100696"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2026-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145840764","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It was found that MaPs primarily affect soil structure by blocking pores and disrupting aggregation, whereas MiP impairs seed germination, nutrient uptake, photosynthesis, and redox imbalance via oxidative stress and leachates of toxic additives.

This review critically synthesizes recent field and laboratory studies to provide a comprehensive understanding of wildfire's impact on DBP formation. Published literature has demonstrated that wildfires lead to higher concentrations of regulated DBPs, which result in a greater number of regulatory violations. These effects are primarily driven by the increased precipitation-driven export of dissolved organic matter (DOM) from burned soils and ash deposits during post-fire runoff events. However, the reactivity (mass DBP formed/mass DOM) of fire-altered dissolved organic matter in forming carbonaceous DBPs (C-DBPs) is often reduced compared to pre-fire DOM. In contrast, the reactivity of DOM to form more toxicologically potent nitrogenous DBPs (N-DBPs) is, in many cases, increased by fire. This shift is exacerbated in wildland–urban interface (WUI) fires, where the combustion of anthropogenic materials can increase the potential toxicity of the resulting DBP mixture by over 100-fold compared to vegetative ash. Further, wildfire can also alter DBP speciation by mobilizing inorganic halides. The release of bromide from vegetation and, critically, iodide from structural materials in WUI fires can lead to the formation of brominated and iodinated DBPs which also potentially results in increased toxicity of the mixture. These findings highlight significant challenges to the production of safe drinking water post-fire and underscore the need for a shift in DBP regulations, moving beyond regulated C-DBPs.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":52296,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Environmental Science and Health","volume":"49 ","pages":"Article 100700"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2026-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145925881","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
