Article Synopsis
  • Rivers are key pathways for microplastics moving from land to ocean, raising concerns about pollution levels in urban waterways.
  • A study in Shanghai analyzed 16 samples from eight rivers and found a significant abundance of microplastics, with much higher levels in sediments than in surface waters.
  • Factors like source types (e.g., laundry wastewater), flow conditions, and plastic characteristics influence the distribution and behavior of microplastics, indicating severe pollution compared to other urban rivers globally.

The enantioselective interaction between penicillium expansum alkaline lipase and chiral phenoxypropionic acid herbicide dichlorprop was studied by using UV differential spectrophotometry and fluorescence spectrophotometry in the presence of a pH 8, phosphate buffer solution. Chiral differences in the UV absorption and fluorescence spectra of lipase with dichlorprop were detected. (R)-Dichlorprop interacted the strongest with lipase as measured by both UV absorption and fluorescence spectrophotometry, followed by (Rac)-dichlorprop, while (S)-dichlorprop had the weakest interaction.
