Investigating the Effects of Microplastic Contamination of Biodegradable Plastic Films Used in Agriculture on Plant Performance and Nutrient Availability: A Study on Growth and Contamination.

Biodegradable plastic films benefit the crops in various ways, however, when degraded into the soil they turn into microplastics and possibly carbon. My study aims to understand the behavior of biodegradable microplastics, their potential benefits and drawbacks, and their fate inside the soil and plants. also, comparisons between biodegradable plastic films and the most conventional type of plastic film, polyethylene

Research Plan

The research investigates the environmental impact of tire wear particles (TWP) through a comprehensive analysis of their degradation and leaching behaviors in soil environments. This study examines the effects of various environmental conditions, including temperature and moisture fluctuations, on TWP in agricultural soils over an 18-month period. Additionally, it explores how different soil types and climate scenarios influence TWP leaching, providing insights into their environmental persistence and transformation. Finally, the research evaluates TWP aging mechanisms in roadside soils by comparing field samples with larger tire fragments buried in situ, aiming to refine the understanding of TWP behavior under real-world conditions.
