Rapid urbanisation in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs) has driven the expansion of urban and peri-urban farming to enhance food security. However, these systems are highly vulnerable to contaminated irrigation waters, urban runoff, open defecation and inadequate sanitation, and anthropogenic pollution, such as plastic and microplastic waste. Here, we investigated the role of plastic debris as a reservoir and vector for multidrug-resistant (MDR) enteric bacterial pathogens in a real-world agronomic setting. Focusing on two peri-urban agricultural sites in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, we analysed 140 environmental samples (soil, water, vegetation, and surface and buried plastic debris) for the presence of four key enteric pathogens: E. coli, Salmonella spp., V. cholerae, and K. pneumoniae. The concentration of total culturable pathogens was higher on plastic debris compared to soil, water and vegetation, with presumptive E. coli loads of ∼1x103 CFU per individual piece of plastic debris. Importantly, plastic debris harboured a greater proportion of MDR strains; specifically, 69% of E. coli isolates were resistant to two or more antimicrobials, with plastics at one site accounting for over half of all MDR E. coli. While MDR E. coli were absent from soil, plastic debris supported strains of E. coli and K. pneumoniae that were resistant to critically important antimicrobials (e.g., ciprofloxacin and cefixime)..This study provides robust evidence that in a real-world setting, plastic waste can act as an ecological reservoir which concentrates and facilitates the survival of MDR pathogens. Therefore, the widespread presence of contaminated plastic in agricultural systems could pose significant occupational health risks for farmers, in addition to a potential environment-to-food risk for consumers.

Muddy and sandy coastlines account for approximately 45% of the world's ice-free coastlines, facing significant ecological risks from antibiotic pollution due to overuse. This study elucidates how fundamental differences in sediment composition govern the distinct transport and fate of antibiotics in these contrasting coastal systems. Muddy coasts primarily consisted of fine-grained sediments with higher water contents, whereas sandy coasts are characterized by coarse-grained sand and gravel with better water permeability. Porewater acts as a bridge between overlying water and sediment, playing a crucial role in contaminant transport. This study compared the antibiotic pollution patterns and revealed the regulatory mechanisms of coastal sediment on the antibiotic source - sink processes. Results showed that antibiotic concentrations in the porewater of mangroves (18.4-182 ng/L) were significantly higher than those (13.3-30.4 ng/L) in sandy beaches. However, higher proportions of tetracyclines in sandy sediment than muddy sediment were found. Spatially, the lowest antibiotic concentrations within the mangrove ecosystem occurred in natural areas. Source analysis indicated that antibiotics in mangroves were predominantly derived from localized sewage and wastewater, whereas in sandy beaches, they were primarily attributed to non-point sources via rainfall runoff and tidal forcing. Our findings revealed that sediment properties govern the spatial distribution and ecological risks of antibiotics in coastal zones. The contrasting retention capacities of muddy and sandy coasts dictate divergent ecological risk patterns. An accurate assessment of the environmental risks posed by antibiotics must account for their specific behavior in water-sediment systems. Consequently, management for muddy coasts should emphasize source control, while for sandy coasts, priority should be given to intercepting transport pathways.

The European common toad (Bufo bufo) is undergoing widespread population declines, potentially influenced by multiple environmental stressors, including chemical pollution. This study aimed to link the toad population status and contaminant levels in 20 breeding ponds in Flanders (Belgium). A multi-contaminant analytical approach was applied, using solid-phase extraction (SPE) combined with advanced instrumental methods: ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC–MS/MS) for pesticides and mycotoxins, UHPLC-Orbitrap-high resolution MS for pharmaceuticals, inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) and ICP-MS for high and low-concentrated metals, respectively, and ion chromatography (IC) for nutrients. Across ponds, 25 pesticides, 11 mycotoxins, 13 antimicrobial drugs, 5 antiparasitic drugs, and 11 metals were detected, reaching concentrations up to 114 ng/L (pesticides), 88.2 ng/L (mycotoxins), 837 ng/L (antimicrobials), 26.8 ng/L (antiparasitic drugs), and 7382 μg/L (metals). Temporal variability was pronounced, with episodic increases in pesticide and metal levels, declining nitrate and sulphate concentrations, and increasing enniatin levels from March to June. Despite frequent co-contamination, no direct relationship was observed between individual contaminant levels and toad population status. These findings suggest that population declines are unlikely to be driven by a single substance, but rather by combined pressures associated with complex contaminant mixtures and other environmental stressors.

The coexistence of microplastics (MPs) and heavy metals in agricultural soils leads to complex interactions during their adsorption and migration processes. Understanding their fate under realistic soil conditions is crucial for assessing the associated environmental risks. Therefore, virgin and aged polyethylene (PE) and polylactic acid (PLA) MPs were used to investigate their influence on the adsorption and migration of chromium (Cr) in unsaturated steady-state soils via batch and column experiments. Batch experiments revealed that soil adsorbed less Cr(VI) than Cr(III) (0.44 vs. 1.45 mg/g). The addition of MPs inhibited Cr adsorption (specifically, 0.40 and 1.23 mg/g for Cr(VI) and Cr(III), respectively, at 7% MP addition), with adsorption capacity decreasing as MP dosage increased. Column experiments showed Cr(VI) reached adsorption equilibrium faster than Cr(III) (25 vs. 41 pore volumes); its migration was primarily controlled by soil hydraulic conditions, and MPs exerted an inhibitory effect. In contrast, Cr(III) migration was predominantly governed by adsorption, and MP addition promoted its migration. Regarding the MPs themselves, PE exhibits greater migration capacity, which decreased with aging, whereas PLA showed the opposite trend. Interestingly, the presence of Cr(III) reduces the migration of MPs compared to Cr(VI). These findings clarify the effects and mechanisms of MPs on Cr migration under realistic soil conditions, and enhance the understanding of migration dynamics and environmental fate of coexisting pollutants.
微塑料与重金属在农业土壤中的共存,导致它们在吸附和迁移过程中发生复杂的相互作用。了解它们在现实土壤条件下的命运对于评估相关的环境风险至关重要。因此,采用未加工聚乙烯(PE)和陈化聚乙烯(PLA) MPs,通过批量和柱状实验研究了它们对非饱和稳态土壤中铬(Cr)的吸附和迁移的影响。批量试验结果表明,土壤对Cr(VI)的吸附量小于Cr(III) (0.44 vs. 1.45 mg/g)。MP的加入抑制了Cr的吸附(在MP添加量为7%时,Cr(VI)和Cr(III)的吸附量分别为0.40和1.23 mg/g),吸附量随MP添加量的增加而降低。柱实验表明,Cr(VI)比Cr(III)更快达到吸附平衡(25比41孔体积);其迁移主要受土壤水力条件控制,MPs具有抑制作用。相反,Cr(III)的迁移主要受吸附控制,MP的加入促进了其迁移。就MPs本身而言,PE表现出更大的迁移能力,随着年龄的增长而下降,而PLA表现出相反的趋势。有趣的是,与Cr(VI)相比,Cr(III)的存在减少了MPs的迁移。这些发现阐明了实际土壤条件下MPs对Cr迁移的影响及其机制,增强了对共存污染物迁移动力学和环境命运的认识。
