Microplastic Emission from Soil-Air Interface

To bridge the gap in understanding soil–air microplastic emissions, here we studied the soil–air transfer mechanism of microplastics with laboratory simulations using microplastic particles varying in size from 1 to 5000 μm.

Chemically and Mechanically Recyclable Polyolefins Incorporating Covalent Adaptable Networks

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Low‐molecular‐weight polypropylene is converted into a crosslinked polyolefin containing a covalently adaptable network. The semicrystalline material remains melt‐processable and mechanically recyclable. Its thermal and mechanical properties are comparable to commercial polyolefins.

Mass Spectrometry in Authentication and Forensic Approaches for Determining the Origin of Hazardous Chemicals

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Identification of a chemical agent yields insights into its physicochemical properties. By examining the intrinsic characteristics and environment of a compound, information about its history can be gathered. The main objective of authentication/forensic approaches to chemicals is to trace the history of the compound's origin, regardless of ...

Enhanced Microplastic Burial in China’s Coastal Blue Carbon Ecosystems:Drivers and Potential Roles in Climate Change Mitigation

Blue carbon ecosystems (BCEs) are important hotspots of microplastics. However, the magnitude and drivers of microplastic storage across the coastline, together with their roles in climate change mitigation, remain largely unknown.

Toxicity Differences Between Microplastics and Nanoplastics in Organs: From Molecular Mechanisms to Potential Therapeutic Strategies

Med Research, EarlyView.
This review systematically compares the size‐dependent toxicity of microplastics and nanoplastics in the intestine, liver, kidney, lung, and brain. Particle size determines bioavailability, barrier penetration, and injury mechanisms. Because of their small size and high surface reactivity, NPs readily cross the intestinal epithelium and blood–brain ...
