Integrative models for environmental forecasting of phthalate migration from microplastics in aquaculture environments.

The pervasive utilization of plastic tools in aquaculture introduces significant volumes of microplastic fibers, presenting a consequential risk through the leaching of additives such as phthalates. This study scrutinizes the leaching dynamics of six prevalent phthalate esters (PAEs) from thirteen plastic aquaculture tools comprising polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polypropylene (PP), and polyethylene (PE), with ΣPAEs ranging from 0.24 to 4.

Seasonal dynamics and typology of microplastic pollution in Huixian karst wetland groundwater: Implications for ecosystem health.

This study offers an insightful and detailed examination of microplastic pollution in the Huixian karst wetland's groundwater, providing novel insights into the complex interplay of microplastic characteristics and their seasonal dynamics. We meticulously quantified microplastic concentrations, observing significant seasonal variation with values ranging from 4.9 to 13.
