“…Secondary microplastics are derived from large plastic items being degraded into small plastic fragments upon exposure to the environment [52]. The largest proportion of these particles is derived from laundering textiles with mixed synthetic fibers [16] and the friction of car tires [17,18]. Secondary microplastics from synthetic textiles in garments are the major type of microplastics [53,54].…”

“…The plastic debris in aquatic environments is fragmented into smaller pieces by ultraviolet light and biodegraded plastic forms microplastics and nanoplastics [13][14][15]. However, the largest proportion of microplastics and nanoplastics is generated from the laundering of textiles with mixed synthetic fibers [16] and the friction of the tires of moving cars [17,18]. These microplastics and nanoplastics have unclear effects on organismal systems.…”

Plastic products are inexpensive, convenient, and are have many applications in daily life. We overuse plastic-related products and ineffectively recycle plastic that is difficult to degrade. Plastic debris can be fragmented into smaller pieces by many physical and chemical processes. Plastic debris that is fragmented into microplastics or nanoplastics has unclear effects on organismal systems. Recently, this debris was shown to affect biota and to be gradually spreading through the food chain. In addition, studies have indicated that workers in plastic-related industries develop many kinds of cancer because of chronic exposure to high levels of airborne microplastics. Microplastics and nanoplastics are everywhere now, contaminating our water, air, and food chain. In this review, we introduce a classification of plastic polymers, define microplastics and nanoplastics, identify plastics that contaminate food, describe the damage and diseases caused by microplastics and nanoplastics, and the molecular and cellular mechanisms of this damage and disease as well as solutions for their amelioration. Thus, we expect to contribute to the understanding of the effects of microplastics and nanoplastics on cellular and molecular mechanisms and the ways that the uptake of microplastics and nanoplastics are potentially dangerous to our biota. After understanding the issues, we can focus on how to handle the problems caused by plastic overuse.

“…Ingestion of CRG particles by marine organisms is known to occur (Redondo-Hasselerharm et al, 2018;Khan et al, 2019), leading to potential exposure through leaching during gut transit. However, exposure of marine organisms to additive chemicals in CRG is likely to be more widespread through leaching to the aqueous phase, especially as some of these additives exhibit persistency in the environment (Halle et al, 2020).…”

“…Laboratory studies with cladocerans (Daphnia magna) and algae (Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata) indicated the major toxic constituent in freshwater leachates is Zn, with minor contributions from organic compounds (Gualtieri et al, 2005;. A recent study reported only small fractions of the heavy metals and PAHs present were bioavailable for freshwater benthic macroinvertebrates (Redondo-Hasselerharm et al, 2018). However, many urban areas are located on the coast, making the marine environment an additional likely sink for CRG as it is transported through the environment.…”

Crumb rubber granulate (CRG) produced from end of life tires (ELTs) is commonly applied to synthetic turf pitches (STPs), playgrounds, safety surfaces and walkways. In addition to fillers, stabilizers, cross-linking agents and secondary components (e.g., pigments, oils, resins), ELTs contain a range of other organic compound and heavy metal additives. While previous environmental impact studies on CRG have focused on terrestrial soil and freshwater ecosystems, many sites applying CRG in Norway are coastal. The current study investigated the organic chemical and metal additive content of 'pristine' and 'weathered' CRG and their seawater leachates, as well as uptake and effects of leachate exposure using marine copepods (Acartia and Calanus sp.). A combination of pyrolysis gas chromatography mass spectrometry (py-GC-MS) and chemical extraction followed by GC-MS analysis revealed similar organic chemical profiles for pristine and weathered CRG, including additives such as benzothiazole, N-1,3-dimethylbutyl-N-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine and a range of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and phenolic compounds (e.g., bisphenols). ICP-MS analysis revealed g kg −1 quantities of Zn and mg kg −1 quantities of Fe, Mn, Cu, Co, Cr, Pb, and Ni in the CRG. A cocktail of organic additives and metals readily leached from the CRG into seawater, with the most abundant leachate components being benzothiazole and Zn, Fe, Co (metals), as well as detectable levels of PAHs and phenolic compounds. Concentrations of individual components varied with CRG source material and CRG to seawater ratio, but benzothiazole and Zn were typically the organic and metal components present at the highest concentrations in the leachates. While organic chemical concentrations in the leachates stabilized within days, metals continued to leach out over the 30-day period. Marine copepods exposed to high CRG leachate concentrations exhibited high mortalities within 48 h. The smaller lipid-poor Acartia had a higher sensitivity to leachates than the larger lipid-rich Calanus, indicating speciesspecific differences in vulnerability to leachates. The effect on survival was alleviated at lower leachate concentrations, indicating a dose-response relationship. Benzothiazole and its derivatives appear to be of concern owing to their proven toxicity, while bisphenols are also known to be toxic and were enriched in the leachates relative to the other compounds in the CRG.

Overall, the objective of this project, MICROPROOF, is to provide scientific insights about risks and measures in a practical manner for road managers in order to preserve, protect and improve European water quality. To reach the objective, this project follows a four-step approach, covering 1) Sources, concentrations and loadings in road runoff ; 2) Environmental pathways and concentrations; 3) Environmental risk assessment; 4) Treatment systems. The underlying report covers the third step of this project: the environmental risk assessment. The environmental risk assessment involves: • Risk categorisation (first tier); Within the first tier the Predicted Environmental Concentration (PEC) of selected substances is compared with the sensitivity of the environment (Predicted No-Effect Concentration (PNEC). The PECs are taken from Deliverable 2.2, which is a result of the first two steps of this project. PNEC values are based on literature, or are derived using available toxicity data. • Quantification of risk (second tier). Within the second tier for each of the selected substances a Species Sensitivity Distribution (SSD) is derived, based on No Observed Effect Concentration (NOEC) values from literature and using the software ETX 2.1. The SSD is used to represent the sensitivity of the environment. The PEC compared with the SSD indicates the probability that a specific fraction of species is exposed above their NOEC value. This is reported as the Potentially Affected Fraction of species (PAF), in percentage, at the exposure concentration.
