Heightened Threat of Aged Microplastics in Constructed Wetlands: Impacts on Nitrogen Cycles and Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Microplastics (MPs) could significantly affect the pollutant treatment performance of constructed wetlands (CWs). However, the impact of aged MPs on nitrogen (N) and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions within CWs remains limited. This study utilized fibrous MPs, which were widely distributed in wetlands, as representative MPs to explore the effects of different concentrations and aging behaviors of MPs on N–transformation and GHG emissions. The results revealed that high–concentration aged MPs reduced the abundance of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria while promoting the abundance of nitrate–reducing bacteria, leading to a decrease in NH₄⁺-N removal (12.85%) and an increase in NO₃⁻-N removal (39.44%). Furthermore, MPs entered plants through their cell walls, affecting plant growth and inducing oxidative stress, thereby reducing the plants ability to absorb N. Additionally, high–concentration aged MPs enhanced the emission of N2O and CH4 by altering the enzymatic activities and functional genes associated with N and C transformation, while inhibiting CO2 emission. These findings emphasize that the accumulation and aging of MPs within substrate could significantly influence the operation and pollutants removal performance of CWs.
期刊介绍:
Water Research, along with its open access companion journal Water Research X, serves as a platform for publishing original research papers covering various aspects of the science and technology related to the anthropogenic water cycle, water quality, and its management worldwide. The audience targeted by the journal comprises biologists, chemical engineers, chemists, civil engineers, environmental engineers, limnologists, and microbiologists. The scope of the journal include:
•Treatment processes for water and wastewaters (municipal, agricultural, industrial, and on-site treatment), including resource recovery and residuals management;
•Urban hydrology including sewer systems, stormwater management, and green infrastructure;
•Drinking water treatment and distribution;
•Potable and non-potable water reuse;
•Sanitation, public health, and risk assessment;
•Anaerobic digestion, solid and hazardous waste management, including source characterization and the effects and control of leachates and gaseous emissions;
•Contaminants (chemical, microbial, anthropogenic particles such as nanoparticles or microplastics) and related water quality sensing, monitoring, fate, and assessment;
•Anthropogenic impacts on inland, tidal, coastal and urban waters, focusing on surface and ground waters, and point and non-point sources of pollution;
•Environmental restoration, linked to surface water, groundwater and groundwater remediation;
•Analysis of the interfaces between sediments and water, and between water and atmosphere, focusing specifically on anthropogenic impacts;
•Mathematical modelling, systems analysis, machine learning, and beneficial use of big data related to the anthropogenic water cycle;
•Socio-economic, policy, and regulations studies.
