Microplastics Toxicity and Life‐Threatening Impact on the Arabian Gulf: A Critical Review

Environmental Quality Management, Volume 36, Issue 2, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Microplastics (MPs) have emerged as a pervasive pollutant in marine environments worldwide, yet the Arabian Gulf remains underrepresented in global assessments despite its ecological and economic significance. The estimated mass of MPs entering the water of the Gulf ranged from 155 to 413.4 kt per year.

Modeling of Air Emissions From Co‐Pyrolysis of Polymeric Wastes: Simplex Lattice Design and Artificial Neural Network Approach

Environmental Quality Management, Volume 36, Issue 2, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Co‐pyrolysis of plastics is a simultaneous thermochemical conversion of a mixture of plastics to value‐added products. This study quantified air emissions from co‐pyrolysis of low‐density polyethylene (LDPE), polystyrene (PS), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) at varying mixture compositions.

Degradable versus inert microplastics: Effects on soil organic carbon persistence via microbial drivers in an agroecosystem

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 2628-2641, August 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Microplastics (MPs) are widespread in terrestrial ecosystems, raising global concerns that they may disrupt soil organic carbon (SOC) cycling and undermine agroecosystem contributions to climate mitigation.

Plastics and Bioplastics End of Life: A Biocatalytic Perspective

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 8, August 2026.
Biocatalysis links selected conventional plastics and bioplastics to biological routes for polymer transformation, product recovery and end‐of‐life management. Enzymes and microbes enable depolymerisation, upcycling and recovery of monomers, platform chemicals and new materials.

Nitrogen and Phosphorus Controls on Phytoplankton Growth and Bacterioplankton Communities in Wetland Impoundments

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Nutrient enrichment in shallow lakes and ponds can shift systems from clear water, macrophyte dominance to turbid, phytoplankton dominance. Because the identity and threshold of the limiting nutrients vary among sites, system‐specific evidence is needed to guide water quality management. We conducted 3‐day in situ nutrient‐enrichment bioassays

A Global Review of Microplastic Contamination in Groundwater: Empirical Evidence and Latin American Perspectives

Water and Environment Journal, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 357-366, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The presence of microplastics (MPs) in groundwater has emerged as a significant concern due to their environmental impact and the threat they pose to vital water resources, groundwater being one of the most important freshwater sources in the world.

Photoreforming Hydrogen From Polystyrene, Low‐Density Polyethylene, and High‐Density Polyethylene Microplastics via UV‐Driven Photolysis and TiO2‐Based Photocatalysis

ChemPhysChem, Volume 27, Issue 14, 29 July 2026.
UV‐driven photoreforming converts PS, LDPE, and HDPE microplastics into hydrogen, with efficiency governed by polymer structure and reaction conditions. TiO2 photocatalysis enhances hydrogen production for polystyrene but decreases performance for polyethylenes, where photolysis is more effective. Stirring improves particle dispersion and significantly
