“…Particularly, the characteristic of pollution load from urban surface runoff is quite different from that of agricultural area because of complex land use in the urban area. 2,3) The pollutants from the surface runoff of urban pavement are mainly heavy metals and organic matters. The concentration is variable by several factors, such as amount of deposition, antecedent dry days, first flush rainfall intensity and rainfall duration time.…”

Long term monitoring was conducted to investigate a surface runoff of pollution from urban highway. The monitoring data was collected for 18 rainfall events and was used to correlate pollution load to various parameters, such as rainfall intensity, antecedent dry days and total discharge flow. Runoff coefficient and seasonal variation were also evaluated. The mean runoff coefficient of the highway was 0.823(range; 0.4687~0.9884), and wash-off ratio for CODMn and SS loads was 72.6% and 64.3%, respectively. For the initial rainfall event, the runoff EMC of CODMn was high in summer and the EMC of SS was high in autumn season. However the seasonal variation of T-N and T-P was not significant. The discharged CODMn-EMC was 147.6 mg/L~9.0 mg/L on the generated CODMn-EMC of 98.8 mg/L~8.9 mg/L. While the generated EMC of SS was in 285.7 mg/L~20.0 mg/L and its discharged EMC was in 190.4 mg/L~8.0 mg/L. EMC of pollutants was not directly related to the first flush rainfall intensity and the antecedent dry days. But the correlation was relatively high between EMC and cumulative runoff flow volume. The trend of EMC was reduced with the cumulative runoff flow volume.

“…Several studies have found that surface water has become a significant source of micro plastic pollution in the soil. Kim et al (2004Kim et al ( , 2006 discovered that rubber particles from road tire wear could enter the roadside soil environment via atmospheric deposition or surface runoff. According to their research, annual tire dust emissions in Sweden and Germany are approximately 1.0 × 10 4 t and 1.1 × 10 4 t, respectively.…”

In recent years, environmental experts and stakeholders have paid increased attention to the pollution of micro plastics in the soil. As persistent pollutants, micro plastics have a significant impact on the soil ecology, agricultural production, and the overall health of the ecological environment. Micro plastics can influence soil bio-physicochemical properties and the mobility of other contaminants in soil, with potentially significant implications on soil ecosystem functionality. Thus, functions including litter decomposition, soil aggregation or those related to nutrient cycling can be altered. Furthermore, micro plastics can influence soil biota at different trophic levels, and even threaten human health through food chains. Despite this potential negative interaction, there is limited research on micro plastics in the soil environment. The primary goals of this review are to summarise the sources, distribution characteristics, migration and degradation laws of micro plastics in the soil ecosystem, to summarise the combined effects of micro plastics and other pollutants in the soil ecosystem, to analyse the effects of micro plastics on soil physical and chemical properties, animals, plants, and microorganisms, and to reveal the effects of micro plastics on soil ecosystem and to according to the distribution characteristics of soil micro plastics, degradation, migration and ecological effects, propose pollution control measures. This current review will provide a comprehensive understanding of soil pollution by micro plastic and offer a scientific basis for the formulation of novel management practices that will protect and improve soils, and contribute to the sustainable development of the ecological environment and highlight important areas for future research.

“…In addition, the MPs in soil include sewage discharged from various chemical plants (Kim et al, 2006); fine particles (containing rubber, mainly synthetic polymers) from road tire wear (Wik and Dave, 2009); atmospheric deposition, and winddriven plastic debris (Dris et al, 2015); and the migration of plastic debris in oceans and lakes (Gregory, 2009;Horton et al, 2017). MPs appear almost everywhere and have caused severe health risks to the ecological environment, and some measures and technologies are urgently needed to improve.…”

Microplastics (MPs) in soil cause severe damage to the ecological environment and organisms, and research on their health risks has received extensive attention, but there is no comprehensive review of this research. From the perspective of bibliometrics, this paper systematically and comprehensively describes the progress, trends, and hotspots of health risks of MPs in soil based on the Web of Science Core Collection, Pubmed, and Scopus databases. Since 2016, people’s research on the health risks of MPs in soil has increased yearly; MPs in soil mainly come from Plastic mulch, Plastic waste, Sludge and sewage, and Organic fertilizer. China has the most publications on the health risks of MPs on soil, and more than half of the top 10 institutions with active publications in this field are from China. This paper systematically expounds on the health risks of MPs to organisms (plants, humans, and microorganisms) and control measures. Cooperation between different countries/institutions and fields/disciplines on the health risk analysis of MPs in soil and research on more efficient, green, and environmentally friendly methods and technologies for reducing soil MPs content will become the frontier trends of future development which provide valuable reference and help for future researchers.
