ABSTRACTThis mobility study aimed to determine the transport of TiO2 NPs from topsoil to deeper zones. The saturated soil column method imitated TiO2 NPs transport in real-world conditions and possible leaching scenarios. Three soils were studied: City soil (SCity), Agricultural (SAgri), and Sand. This investigation used ICP-OES, EDX, SEM and DLS to determine TiO2 NPs sizes, track the mobility patterns and quantify them in soil layers. The results have revealed that the mobility and retention of TiO2 NPs were highly influenced by Clay, organic matter (OM), and CEC. The concentration of TiO2 NPs in the deepest soil layers and the breakthrough water was low in SCity, in which Clay and OM were high. In contrast, TiO2 NPs were relatively high in the lowest layers of SAgri, where the Clay and OM content was insignificant. The columns packed with Sand showed the highest transported of TiO2 NPs where Clay and OM were absent. The breakthrough water obtained from Sand columns showed the highest TiO2 NPs concentration, followed by SAgri and SCity. The columns packed with SCity had more TiO2 NPs retention due to the presence of CEC in Clay and OM. This investigation showed that the transport of TiO2 NPs in the soil at low concentrations is a fact. It depends on soil properties such as texture, OM content, pH, and CEC.KEYWORDS: TiO2 nanoparticlesmobilitysoil columnsoil saturation AcknowledgmentsWe express our gratitude to the Indian Council for Cultural and Relations (ICCR) for their financial assistance by awarding Djibril Sekou Keita a full scholarship for his doctoral research.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.

ABSTRACT Microplastics (MPs) pollution of environments due to human activities is a global concern. In the present study, we examined the occurrence of MPs in coastal hill soils (burned and non-burned) collected from the Rohingya Refugee camps in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh. The total number of MPs per kg of burned soil (402–403 items/kg) sample was significantly higher than that in non-burned soil (210 items/kg) sample. Fibers (24–57%) dominated in all the samples, followed by fragments (18–51%), sheet (12–29%), and microbeads (12–13%). The most common color of MPs was blue (16–68%), followed by red (14–25%), transparent (14–24%) and brown (14–22%). Among the size groups, MPs of 0.5-<1.0 mm (34–44%) dominated in all the samples, followed by 1.0–5.0 mm (27–45%) and <0.5 mm (14–29%). Attenuated Total Reflectance Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy analysis confirmed the most abundant polymer type in burned soil was polystyrene (28%) followed by polypropylene (23%), polyethylene (21%), polyamide (15%), ethylene-vinyl acetate (8%), and polyvinyl chloride (3%). The study confirms the presence of high MPs loads in burned soil, with high potential of trophic transfer to plants and washed out to aquatic environment and will appear as base line information for further assessment of MPs effects on biota.

This study (pot experiment) investigated and compared the effectiveness of Se(VI) and Se(IV) application at a rate of 1.25 mg Se kg−1 soil on growth, physiology, yield and As uptake by spring wheat on an uncontaminated and As-contaminated (1.5 mg kg−1) soil. Selenate improved wheat grain yield, relative water contents, membrane stability index, total chlorophylls, and antioxidant activities up to 43%, 18.6%, 9.5%, 16.4% and 15–46%, respectively, compared to control under As-contaminated soil. As compared to Se(IV), in accordance with above results, Se(VI) application resulted in 5-fold higher grain Se concentration and 4.4-fold higher grain Se uptake, which are partially explained by 1.3-fold higher root to grain Se translocation factor in Se(VI)-fed plants under As-contaminated soil. Concomitantly, Se(VI) offered a stronger competitive effect on As uptake thereby reducing its concentration in grains by 11% and in shoots by 44%. Translocation factor of As from root to shoots and to grains was 33% and 14.2%, respectively lesser in Se(VI)-fed plants. Thus, it is concluded that Se(VI) application, through its beneficial effects on root morphological traits, improvement in antioxidant activity and physiological behavior, is highly effective in reducing As toxicity on yield and As accumulation in wheat grains.
本研究(盆栽试验)研究并比较了在未污染和砷污染(1.5 mg kg - 1)土壤上施用硒(VI)和硒(IV)对春小麦生长、生理、产量和砷吸收的影响。硒酸盐对砷污染土壤下小麦籽粒产量、相对含水量、膜稳定性指数、总叶绿素和抗氧化活性分别提高了43%、18.6%、9.5%、16.4%和15-46%。综上所述,与硒(IV)相比,施用硒(VI)使籽粒硒浓度增加了5倍,籽粒硒吸收量增加了4.4倍,部分原因是砷污染土壤下,硒(VI)施用植物的根到粒硒转运因子增加了1.3倍。同时,硒(VI)对砷的吸收具有较强的竞争效应,使籽粒和茎中砷的浓度分别降低11%和44%。硒(VI)处理的植株根系向茎部和籽粒的砷转运因子分别为33%和14.2%,硒(VI)处理的植株较低。综上所述,硒(VI)通过对小麦根系形态性状、抗氧化活性和生理行为的改善,有效降低了砷对小麦产量和籽粒累积的毒性。
