    Abstract The use of plastics has become deeply ingrained in our society, and there are no indications that its prevalence will decrease in the foreseeable future. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the global plastic waste disposal landscape, examining it through regional perspectives, various management technologies (dumping or landfilling, incineration, and reuse and recycling), and across different sectors including agriculture and food, textile, tourism, and healthcare. Notably, this study compiles the findings on life-cycle carbon footprints associated with various plastic waste management practices as documented in the literature. Employing the bio-circular-green economy model, we advocate for the adoption of streamlined and sustainable approaches to plastic management. Unique management measures are also discussed including the utilization of bioplastics combined with smart and efficient collection processes that facilitate recycling, industrial composting, or anaerobic digestion. Moreover, the integration of advanced recycling methods for conventional plastics with renewable energy, the establishment of plastic tax and credits, and the establishment of extended producer responsibility are reviewed. The success of these initiatives relies on collaboration and support from peers, industries, and consumers, ultimately contributing to informed decision-making and fostering sustainable practices in plastic waste management.

    Abstract Particulate matter (PM) pollution is of great concern for human health and vegetation. In this study, we investigated the impact of PM on primary (unifoliate) leaves of Vigna radiata (L.) R.Wilczek by exposing leaves’ adaxial surface to PM. Leaves exposed to PM showed accumulation of various metal(loid)s even after removal of epicuticular wax (EW) revealing that the metals/metalloids could penetrate through the cuticular barrier. Scanning electron microscopic studies revealed that even after thorough washing with water, a significant amount (~55%) of particles were retained on the leaf surface. Leaves did not show any particles on their surface post EW removal, revealing that particles adhered to EW. Exposing primary leaves to PM did not alter their size but gave rise to smaller sized trifoliate leaves. A decline in Chl a/b of PM-exposed primary leaves suggested that PM cause a shading effect on leaves. PM-exposed primary leaves also showed a decline in sugar levels. However, the trifoliate leaves did not show any variation in Chl a/b as well as sugar levels. Our findings furnish evidence for the negative effects of PM on plants and a probable dietary exposure of humans to PMs, warranting more in-depth studies on the potential risks of PMs in agricultural sector.

    Abstract The existence of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in water is of serious interest due to their toxic, bioaccumulative, and persistent nature, and adsorption is an effective approach for the PFASs removal. In the present study, we developed a polymeric adsorbent by cross-linking chitosan and β–cyclodextrin using glutaraldehyde (Chi–Glu–β–CD) and evaluated its removal performance for perfluorobutanesulfonate (PFBS) from water. The results indicate that the performance was highly affected by solution pH; under a more acidic condition (e.g., pH 2.0), a higher removal efficiency was detected, and faster adsorption kinetics was observed with the rate constant (k₂) of 0.001 ± 3×10⁻⁴ g mg⁻¹ min⁻¹. Adsorption isotherm data agreed to the Sips model with a maximum heterogeneous adsorption capacity of 135.70 ± 25.70 mg g⁻¹, probably due to protonated amine (NH⁺) and electron-deficient β–CD cavities. The adsorption mechanism was confirmed using energy dispersive X-ray and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, showing the role of electrostatic attractions between the protonated amine and the negatively charged PFBS molecule (especially, with sulfonate side (N–H–-O–S)) and host–guest inclusion formations with β–CD cavity in adsorption. Additionally, the synthesized adsorbent was recovered using methanol without any significant decline in adsorption efficiency even after four continuous adsorption/desorption cycles. All these findings suggested that the Chi–Glu–β–CD composite could be a promising adsorbent in the removal of PFBS from water.

    Abstract The surface chemistry of sub-micron microplastics (MP) particles, specifically, the pH-dependent surface charge (or surface acidity), plays a role on the transport, transformation, and effect of contaminants in the aquatic environment. Little is known on the origin of surface charge and the quantification of surface acidity of MP. In this study, the surface charge of submicron particles of six major polymers, including low-density polyethylene (LDPE), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET), was characterized in inert electrolytes, namely, NaClO₄, NaCl, and NaNO₃ for the elucidation of surface acidity. IR absorbance revealed that oxygen-rich functional groups were introduced during the resynthesis of MP particles, whose surface chemical structure consists of three main functional groups, i.e., carboxylic/ester, ether/alcohol, and aliphatic. Results show clearly that the zeta potential of MP particles was negatively charged in simple electrolytes at pH greater than ca. 2.0. Hydroxide ions adsorption on the non-polar aliphatic sites, and deprotonation of surface hydroxy group on the polar carboxylic/ester and ether/alcohol sites, contributed to the negative charges on MP surface. The surface acidity of selected MP particles was established in terms of acid strength (intrinsic acidity constants) and capacity (total surface site concentration) for the three distinct surface sites. Results also show the surface acid site density increases with hydration/hydrolysis time with rate constants of the polar surface sites, i.e., carboxylic/ester and ether/alcohol being 2.3 times greater than that of the non-polar aliphatic group.
