Research Progress on Deposition and Transport Behavior of Microplas-tics in Porous Media
[Purposes]The presence of microplastic particles in soil and groundwater environments poses potential risks to ecological safety and human health,therefore,so it is of great significance to study the transport and deposition of microplastics.[Methods]In this paper,the mechanisms and factors affecting microplastic transport are analyzed from the perspectives of microplastic properties,solution factors,po-rous media and pollutant co-transport.[Findings]The results show that the particle size,shape and sur-face groups of microplastics have a strong influence on transport;the nature of the porous media and the physicochemical conditions in the solution change the interaction force between microplastics and the media,which affects the transport behavior;in addition,the co-transport of microplastics and pollutants is mainly affected by their own structure and properties.[Conclusions]Microplastics have a strong abil-ity to transport in the environment and the transport behavior of microplastics needs to be further ex-plored in the future environmental governance.
