“…In recent years, they have been detected in aquatic environments [10], sediments [11], territorial systems [12], foods [13], and even in the animal and human tissues [14,15]. Many studies have reported that NPs/MPs show strong sorption affinities to various organic contaminants due to their large specific surface area and hydrophobicity [16]. For example, Wang et al [17] reported that polystyrene (PS) NPs/MPs showed strong sorption capacity to both phenanthrene and nitrobenzene, and the distribution coefficient of phenanthrene was higher than that of nitrobenzene for MPs.…”

Nano and microplastics (NPs/MPs) have received widespread attention in recent years. Because of their large specific surface area and hydrophobicity, NPs/MPs can adsorb various organic contaminants. This article gives a brief review of the sorption behavior of organic contaminants to NPs/MPs, summarizes the possible sorption mechanisms, and analyzes the influencing factors in the environment on the sorption behavior and mechanisms of NPs/MPs. The main mechanisms of sorption of organic contaminants to NPs/MPs are partitioning, surface sorption (hydrogen bonding, π–π interaction, electrostatic interaction, and van der Waals force), and pore filling. The sorption behavior of organic contaminants to NPs/MPs is not only affected by the properties of the NPs/MPs and the organic contaminants, but also by the solution chemistry, such as the pH, ionic strength, and dissolved organic matter.

“…Many organisms are subject to MP ingestion due to their small size and distribution in the environment (De-la-Torre, 2020). Although MPs have been widely investigated in marine ecosystems, terrestrial ecosystems and agroecosystems have been overlooked (Qi et al, 2020).…”

“…In addition, Residual plastic film is probably one of the major sources of terrestrial microplastics (de Souza Machado, Kloas, Zarfl, Hempel, & Rillig, 2018). Microplastics can be easily absorbed by organisms and subsequently transported through food webs, due to their small particle size and extremely slow degradation process (Qi et al, 2019), posing a potential threat to human health. Shi et al (2019) reported that the wide use of plastic film has resulted in release of ubiquitous phthalate esters into the soil, which could be taken up and accumulated by dietary intake of crops, thus imposing health risks to human.…”

Polyethylene (PE) film mulching (PM) contributes to the increase of crop yields and farmer incomes at the expense of environment. We performed a 2-yr field experiment to evaluate the possibility of replacement of PM with poly(butyleneadipate-co-terephthalate)-based biodegradable film mulching (BM) for winter potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) in the south of China. Both PM and BM treatments showed higher soil temperature and water content than no mulching (NM), and there was no significant difference between PM and BM before 60 d after sowing (DAS). Because of the breakdown of biodegradable film, reduced soil temperature and water content were observed in the BM treatment when compared to PM after 60 DAS, whereas no significant difference was observed in potato yield as well as marketable yield between PM and BM treatments, leading to higher water use efficiency in PM than BM. The net revenues of treatments BM
