Rainfall-induced microplastic fate and transport in unsaturated Dutch soils
Microplastic pollution has become a growing concern in terrestrial ecosystems, with significant implications for environmental and human health. Understanding the fate and transport of microplastics in soil environment is crucial for effective mitigation strategies. This study investigates the dynamics of microplastic (Low-density polyethylene (LDPE), polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PBAT), and starch-based biodegradable plastic) transport in unsaturated soils under varying rainfall intensities and soil types, aiming to elucidate the factors influencing their behavior. Effluent samples were analyzed to measure microplastic transport, with microplastic balance analysis ensuring experimental accuracy. The setup replicated real-world flow conditions, providing insights into microplastic transport in unsaturated porous media. Microplastic balance analysis revealed high recovery factors (between 64 % and 104 %), indicating the reliability of the experimental approach. Microplastic transport varied significantly between sandy loam and loamy sand soils, with loamy sand soils exhibiting higher wash-off rates due to their unique properties. LDPE microplastics showed a higher tendency to detach from soil columns compared to PBAT and starch-based particles. Higher rainfall intensity in loamy sand soil columns resulted in an increased washout of LDPE, PBAT, and starch-based particles by 92 %, 144 %, and 85 %, respectively, compared to low rainfall intensity. In sandy loam soil, increased rainfall intensity resulted in a significantly higher washout of LDPE, PBAT, and starch-based particles with percentages of 93 %, 69 %, and 45 %, respectively. This underscores the important role of water flow in mobilizing microplastics within the soil matrix.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Contaminant Hydrology is an international journal publishing scientific articles pertaining to the contamination of subsurface water resources. Emphasis is placed on investigations of the physical, chemical, and biological processes influencing the behavior and fate of organic and inorganic contaminants in the unsaturated (vadose) and saturated (groundwater) zones, as well as at groundwater-surface water interfaces. The ecological impacts of contaminants transported both from and to aquifers are of interest. Articles on contamination of surface water only, without a link to groundwater, are out of the scope. Broad latitude is allowed in identifying contaminants of interest, and include legacy and emerging pollutants, nutrients, nanoparticles, pathogenic microorganisms (e.g., bacteria, viruses, protozoa), microplastics, and various constituents associated with energy production (e.g., methane, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide).
The journal''s scope embraces a wide range of topics including: experimental investigations of contaminant sorption, diffusion, transformation, volatilization and transport in the surface and subsurface; characterization of soil and aquifer properties only as they influence contaminant behavior; development and testing of mathematical models of contaminant behaviour; innovative techniques for restoration of contaminated sites; development of new tools or techniques for monitoring the extent of soil and groundwater contamination; transformation of contaminants in the hyporheic zone; effects of contaminants traversing the hyporheic zone on surface water and groundwater ecosystems; subsurface carbon sequestration and/or turnover; and migration of fluids associated with energy production into groundwater.
