Abstract

 Background and Objective: Among the emerging contaminants, Microplastics threaten public health. This study aimed to determine Microplastic and mesoplastics in soil of residential areas adjacent to Tehran Landfill and assess its Ecological risk. Materials and Methods: The present descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 20 shallow and deep soil samples from residential areas near the Tehran Landfill in July 2021. The Microplastics were floated in NaCl and ZnCl2 solutions, and the mesoplastics were separated manually. The identification of physical and chemical properties of polymers was performed by stereomicroscope and FTIR analysis, respectively. Results: The average amount of micro-plastics in shallow and deep soils estimated 76± 34. 98 and 24. 7± 19. 79 particles/kgsoil, respectively. The average amount of mesoplastics obtained 5. 25± 2. 91 and 3. 55± 1. 09 particles/kgsoil, in shallow and deep soils, respectively. Paired-samples T-test showed significant differences between shallow and deep soil in terms of plastic particles (p<0. 001). The most abundant Microplastic particles were the fragment-shaped with the particle size of 0. 1-0. 5 mm and LDPE polymer types with the percentage of 37. 75, 44. 64, and 46. 15, respectively. Mesoplastic particles, the 0. 5-1 cm film-shaped particles and LDPE polymer types with the percentage of 62. 76, 61. 46, and 50. 7 were found as the most prevalent. Microplastics and mesoplastics' potential Ecological risks value in all sampling points was less than 150, indicating low Ecological risk. Conclusion: Despite the low PERI of Microplastics and soil mesoplastics in residential areas, the Er i index for LDPE was high. Thus, Ecological risk is probable if control measures are not taken against plastic pollution.
