Feasibility assessment of biochar amendment for mitigating phytotoxicity of polyvinyl chloride micro/nano-plastics: A study based on lettuce pot experiments
Micro/nano-plastics (M/NPs) are pervasive in agricultural soils, and their detrimental effects on crops are increasingly evident. This ultimately results in reduced crop yields and quality, posing a great threat to global food security. Therefore, the urgent need to mitigate the phytotoxicity of M/NPs has become apparent. Biochar (BC), as an environmentally friendly soil amendment, plays a crucial role in modifying soil properties and boosting agricultural production levels. Its strong adsorption capacity enables it to effectively passivate soil pollutants and reduce their phytotoxicity. However, the effect of BC on the phytotoxicity of M/NPs in soil remains unknown. In this study, the feasibility of BC amendment for mitigating phytotoxicity of polyvinyl chloride M/NPs (PVC-M/NPs) was evaluated by conducting pot experiments. The results show that the application of 0.1% (w/w) PVC-M/NPs resulted in a 48.60% reduction in lettuce yield. This reduction can be attributed to the decreased soil microbial activity and soil cation exchange capacity (CEC), as well as the direct physical damage to lettuce roots caused by PVC-M/NPs. BC amendment improved soil quality, but had insignificant effect on lettuce biomass compared to the control ( > 0.05). In contrast, BC amendment at an appropriate concentration (0.5% and 2.5%, w/w) to soils contaminated with PVC-M/NPs resulted in a significant increase in lettuce yield ( < 0.01). Furthermore, BC was found to mitigate the oxidative stress of PVC-M/NPs on lettuce roots. This indicates that the BC amendment has the potential to mitigate the toxicity of PVC-M/NPs to lettuce. Improving soil quality and enhancing PVC-M/NPs adsorption are perceived as the influencing mechanisms of BC on the phytotoxicity of PVC-M/NPs. The findings suggest that it is feasible to mitigate the phytotoxicity of M/NPs through BC amendments.
期刊介绍:
Environmental Pollution is an international peer-reviewed journal that publishes high-quality research papers and review articles covering all aspects of environmental pollution and its impacts on ecosystems and human health.
Subject areas include, but are not limited to:
• Sources and occurrences of pollutants that are clearly defined and measured in environmental compartments, food and food-related items, and human bodies;
• Interlinks between contaminant exposure and biological, ecological, and human health effects, including those of climate change;
• Contaminants of emerging concerns (including but not limited to antibiotic resistant microorganisms or genes, microplastics/nanoplastics, electronic wastes, light, and noise) and/or their biological, ecological, or human health effects;
• Laboratory and field studies on the remediation/mitigation of environmental pollution via new techniques and with clear links to biological, ecological, or human health effects;
• Modeling of pollution processes, patterns, or trends that is of clear environmental and/or human health interest;
• New techniques that measure and examine environmental occurrences, transport, behavior, and effects of pollutants within the environment or the laboratory, provided that they can be clearly used to address problems within regional or global environmental compartments.
