“…Earthworm species, i.e. Eisenia fetida (Savigny, 1826), Eudrilus eugeniae (Kinberg, 1867), and Lumbricus terrestris (Linnaeus, 1758) were reported by a number of researchers [73][74][75][76][77] to be able to reduce LDPE, high-density polyethylene (HDPE), PP, polylactic acid (PLA), and polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PBAT). Ikhwan and Nurcholis [78] found that bacteria had a double potential, besides being able to degrade plastic, it also had the potential to be a biological fertilizer.…”

The presence of microplastics (MPs) in agricultural soil has the potential to contaminate plants and agricultural products with negative impacts on humans and living creatures. Therefore, identifying and quantifying MPs in potato farms is essential to evaluate. This study aims to estimate MPs pollutants in potato farms. This study found that potato farm components (potato seedlings, soil, organic fertilizer, potato, irrigation water and potato chips) had a total MPs content of 104 particles. The higher abundance of MPs 2.83 mL–1 was recorded in Pujon Kidul irrigation water and lower abundance of MPs 0.03 g–1 was noted in Potato chip – “OK” brand. Considering size of microplastic the maximum size of MPs 5.449 mm was calculated in Pujon Kidul irrigation water and minimum size of MPs 0.172 mm was noted in Pujon Kidul 3rd growing media. The colors of MPs identified are transparent, black, blue, red, yellow, and green. In addition, the MP’s shape was 68.2 % of fibre, 26.9 % of filament, 3.8 % fragment, and 1.1 % of granules in potato farm components. The emerging pollutants must be addressed because microplastic degradation causes them to spread more widely, accumulating over tens to hundreds of years as a hidden danger.

“…Particulate matter contamination in soil did not affect colony founding in the ant Lasius niger (Seidenath et al, 2021 ). However, soil‐feeding earthworms ( Eisenia fetida ) showed a strongly increased mortality when exposed to soil spiked with brake dust particles (Holzinger et al, 2022 ). DEPs have a different composition than brake dust.…”

“…Investigations are increasing globally into the pollution of heavy metals in various media, including sediments in rivers or lakes, soil, and air [9][10][11][12][13]. Soil is a primary sink of pollution from wastewater, exhaust gas, and other environmental media [14][15][16]. Compared with other media, soil pollution by heavy metals is more severe.…”

Heavy metal pollution related to non-ferrous metal smelting may pose a significant threat to human health. This study analyzed 58 surface soils collected from a representative non-ferrous metal smelting area to screen potentially hazardous heavy metals and evaluate their health risk in the studied area. The findings demonstrated that human activity had contributed to the pollution degrees of Cu, Cd, As, Zn, and Pb in the surrounding area of a non-ferrous metal smelting plant (NMSP). Cu, Cd, As, Zn, Pb, Ni, and Co pollution within the NMSP was serious. Combining the spatial distribution and Spearman correlations with principal component analysis (PCA), the primary sources of Cd, As, Pb, and Zn in surrounding areas were related to non-ferrous metal smelting and transportation activities. High non-cancer (THI = 4.76) and cancer risks (TCR = 2.99 × 10−4) were found for adults in the NMSP. Moreover, heavy metals in the surrounding areas posed a potential cancer risk to children (TCR = 3.62 × 10−6) and adults (TCR = 1.27 × 10−5). The significant contributions of As, Pb, and Cd to health risks requires special attention. The construction of a heavy metal pollution management system will benefit from the current study for the non-ferrous metal smelting industry.
