Article Synopsis
  • - This study explores how microplastics (MPs) combined with oil form aggregates (MOPAs) when interacting with particles in nearshore environments, affecting their vertical transport and fate.
  • - It was found that the majority of the MPs, particularly those with specific chemical groups, suspended in water columns, while particles in the sediment phase absorbed these composite pollutants, ultimately altering their structure and composition.
  • - Additionally, the research highlights that smaller degraded MPs and oil can resuspend in water, showing a decrease in mass and changing sizes of oil droplets during the degradation process, contributing to a better understanding of the behavior of these pollutants in aquatic environments.

Hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM) is posing serious threats to ecosystems. However, biodegradation is an effective method to remove HPAM owing to its low cost and environmental friendliness. In this study, Alcaligenes faecalis EPDB-5 was isolated as a highly efficient HPAM degrading strain from sludge contaminated with polymerized produced water from Daqing oilfield.
