“…Treatment of soil with cold plasma has proven to be successful in soil bacteria eradication and reduction of microplastics in land. Dielectric barrier discharge plasma was applied for the remediation of microplastic-contaminated soil from landfills (Jingyuan et al, 2023). The study found that reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by DBD plasma rapidly removed microplastic pollutants in the soil.…”

Cold plasma is an emerging non-thermal method of food processing and preservation. Over the past five years, there has been a huge increase in the number of research works on cold plasma applications. Cold plasma is the best alternative to traditional sanitizers in the food industry without leaving any harmful residues. Applications in the food sector include food decontamination, enzyme inactivation, reduction of food safety hazards, and enhancing efficiency of unit operations such as drying and extraction. In the agriculture sector, cold plasma has proved its potential for seed decontamination, enhancement of seed germination and plant growth, soil and water remediation etc. This paper aims to give an insight into the fundamentals of cold plasma and its promising applications in the food and agriculture sector along with the underlying mechanisms.

“…Beyond examining fundamental parameters, this research incorporates an investigation of microplastics in evaluating the suitability of landfill fine fraction as a biocover material. Numerous studies have substantiated a significant abundance of microplastics within landfill bodies up to 83 particles/g [21][22][23][24][25] and their release with leachate [21,26,27]. Growing environmental concern about microplastic pollution relates to their pervasive presence, continual fragmentation, leaching of toxic additives, and integration into the trophic chain.…”

Landfills pose global challenges, notably in terms of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, pollution release, and extensive land occupation. The transformative practice of landfill mining has redefined these sites as valuable resource reservoirs. The fine fraction (FF), often constituting the majority of excavated waste, is currently underutilized but holds the potential for biocover construction to mitigate methane emissions. This study comprehensively analyzes the FF from the Kuršenai landfill, collecting samples from various depths, reaching up to 10.5 m. The most suitable layers for biocover construction were determined based on basic physical and chemical parameters, along with the concentration of heavy metals and microplastics. The findings unveil significant parameter variations across different depths. Moderate–high correlations (ranging from 0.5 to 0.84) between several parameters were observed. The layer at a depth of 4.5–6 m emerged as the most suitable for biocover construction. However, this layer is characterized by elevated microplastic concentrations (30,208 ± 273 particles/kg), posing a challenge for its use in biocovers as microplastics can be released into the environment during FF extraction and biocover construction. Additionally, microplastics become finer with depth, increasing the associated risks. Therefore, a balanced approach considering material properties and pollution concentrations is vital for sustainable waste management practices.
