Marine plastic pollution is rapidly colonized by a biofilm of microorganisms associated with the control of biogeochemical cycles, plastic biodegradation, and potentially pathogenic activities. An extensive number of studies have described the taxonomic composition of this biofilm, referred to as the ‘plastisphere’, and previous reviews have reported on the influence of location, plastic type, and plastic-biodegradation ability on plastisphere formation. However, few studies have investigated the metabolic activity of this complex biofilm and how microbial pathogenicity and bioremediation could be regulated in this ecosystem. In this review, we highlight the understudied molecular and abiotic factors influencing plastisphere formation and microbial functioning beyond taxonomic description. In this context, we critically discuss the impacts of (i) organism-organism interaction, (ii) microbial cell wall composition, and (iii) commonly encountered plastic-bound co-pollutants (heavy metals, persistent organic pollutants, UV filters). For the first time, we review the anticipated impact of lipophilic organic UV-filters – found in plastic additives and sunscreens – on the plastisphere due to their reported affinity for plastics, persistence, and co-location at high concentrations in touristic coastal environments. Herein, we integrate the findings of 34 global studies exploring plastisphere composition, 35 studies quantifying co-pollutant concentrations, and draw upon 52 studies of cell -cell and -substrate interaction to deduce the inferred, yet still unknown, metabolic interactions within this niche.

Abstract Heavy metal pollution has become one of the most severe environmental issues. Adsorption is an effective method for removing heavy metals from aquatic environments. The adsorption isotherm and kinetics models can provide information on the adsorption process, maximal adsorption capacity, and mass transfer steps, which are essential to evaluate the performance of an adsorbent and to design an adsorption system. In this review, the adsorption kinetics and isotherms of heavy metals by various adsorbents were summarized and discussed in depth. First, the sources of heavy metal pollution and the adsorption technology to remove heavy metals were reviewed. The adsorption capacity of Cu, Cd, Zn, Ni, Cr, As, Fe, Hg, Co, Sr, and Cs by biosorbents (e.g. algae, agriculture waste biochar/activated carbon, and bacteria) and by abiotic adsorbents (e.g. metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), microtubes, polymers, clays, minerals, and coal) were systematically summarized. Second, the origins, basic assumptions, importance, physical meanings, and applications of the adsorption kinetics and isotherm models were discussed in depth. Third, the methods for selecting adsorption models in different conditions were explained, and the statistical parameters which can be applied to evaluate the performance of the models were illustrated. Finally, two Excel sheets are provided for solving the adsorption models, which are available in Supplementary Information. This review article will deepen the understanding of the interaction between heavy metals and adsorbents and facilitate the development of adsorptive technology for heavy metal removal from water and wastewater.

Abstract Co-planting two or more species on the same piece of land, with overlapping time or not, has been suggested to increase both crop production and long-term sustainability. On soils that are slightly or moderately contaminated with heavy metals, hyperaccumulators have been co-planted with crops to clean the soil and produce safe agricultural products. Despite the increasing number of greenhouse experiments and field trials that investigate the co-planting mechanisms and efficiency, the consistency, stability, and applicability of this technology and its contribution to sustainability remain unclear. From published literature, we collected 118 co-planting combinations involving hyperaccumulators, and compared them with their monoculture controls. Co-planting averagely decreased the shoot arsenic concentration by ∼23.4% and cadmium by ∼13.4%. Co-planting controls the crop contamination as long as the hyperaccumulator and crop species are correctly selected, and the soil heavy metal is within the safe range. Further, a sustainability assessment criterion for the utilization of contaminated agricultural soil was proposed, taking As-contaminated soil as an example. A decision framework and a guideline for co-planting were established to aid in the decision-making. The outlook of co-planting as a sustainable solution and the future development were prospected.

Abstract Synthetic musks (SMs) have been widely used as fragrance ingredients in various daily consumer products. Due to their mass production and usage, the presence of SMs has been reported in environmental and human biological samples, raising global concerns over human health effects. This review outlines the current knowledge on human exposure pathways and internal exposure to environmental SMs. The biotransformation of SMs in humans is also highlighted. Compared to exposure through inhalation and oral ingestion pathways, dermal contact from SMs-containing personal care products is the dominant pathway, accounting for 82–93% of total human SMs daily exposure. After penetrating the skin barrier, SMs can be absorbed by the dermis, causing potential skin irritation. Regarding internal human exposure, around half of the limited studies focused on breast milk, indicating considerable risks for vulnerable global populations (e.g. pregnant women and babies). The health effects of SMs are assessed synergistically based on the existing data and our calculated toxicological predictions. SMs could induce endocrine disruption and mutagenic toxicity according to historical analysis of data. Our computational toxicology data suggested negative impacts on the cardiovascular system for the first time. However, caution should be applied when interpreting adverse health effects using the available data, as the effective toxic doses of different SMs in laboratory studies were greater than actual environmental concentrations in most cases. Based on an analysis of research progress, this review also proposed the need to study the relationship between long-term low-dose exposure and adverse human health effects in future research.
