Soils are considered the largest sink of microplastic (MP) in terrestrial ecosystems. However, little is known about implications MP on soil physical properties. We hypothesize that low wettability induces water repellency, depending content and size particles. quantified mixtures sand. The sessile drop method (SDM) was applied to measure static contact angle (CA) glass beads at contents rangin...

Microplastics (MPs) are man-made polymer particles in the size range 1 μm to 5 mm. They have been proven be present all of Earth's environments through extensive global studies. Such studies regularly involve isolation MPs from water or other media using a filtration method. then commonly analysed for and type, either situ on filter after removal it by hand picking. These approaches provide opp...

The Brantas River is a freshwater river that flows in the area of Malang. current quality has decreased due to microplastic contamination. Microplastic dynamic properties and high flexibility accumulating waters organisms. purpose study was determine type abundance water Gambusia affinis fish Malang area. This employed survey method sampling which carried out five different locations based on l...

Nitrogen pollution in wastewater has been considered a worldwide risk to ecosystems. Bioelectrochemical technologies have developed recently remove nitrogen. In addition nitrogen, microplastics, as emergency pollutants wastewater, could potentially affect nitrogen removal efficiency due their toxic effects on the activity of microorganisms. This study explored how microplastics would influence ...
