聚乙烯微塑料(PE)与2种抗生素复合污染对土壤肥力的影响

The Impact of Composite Pollution by Polyethylene Microplastics and Two Antibiotics on Soil Fertility

  • 摘要: 随着农业地膜与抗生素在农业领域的广泛使用, 两者复合污染对土壤环境的生态效应影响逐渐受到关注。然而, 目前对于PE微塑料与抗生素复合污染影响的研究多集中于水培植物等方面。本研究对沈阳农田土壤进行28 d培养实验, 探索了兽药领域2种典型抗生素土霉素(OTC)与磺胺二甲基嘧啶(SM2)(0、1、10 mg·kg-1)分别与PE微塑料(0、0.2%、1%、2%、5%)复合污染下对土壤养分与酶活性的影响, 并对2种复合污染的影响程度进行对比分析。结果表明, PE与抗生素复合污染均会显著降低土壤有机质、有效磷、速效钾含量与土壤酶活性, 显著升高土壤铵态氮含量, 土壤养分与性质的变化也对土壤酶活性造成影响。其中, PE+OTC与PE+SM2复合污染分别使碱性磷酸酶(ALP)活性显著抑制34.1%和40.2%, 蔗糖酶(SC)活性显著抑制56.6%和42.8%, 过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性显著抑制54.1%和64.7%。综合分析表明, PE与OTC复合污染对土壤铵态氮、有效磷含量和SC活性的影响更强, 而PE与SM2复合污染对土壤速效钾含量与ALP、CAT活性的影响更强。PE与抗生素均会对土壤肥力产生影响, 而复合污染会因氢键作用与两者相互吸附迁移等因素, 一定程度上加剧单一污染带来的影响。目前研究多集中于实验室层面, 后续需加强对PE与OTC和SM2复合污染的机制效应研究。

     

    Abstract: With the widespread use of agricultural plastic mulching and veterinary antibiotics, the ecological impacts of their combined contamination in soil environments have received increasing attention. However, most existing studies on the combined effects of polyethylene (PE) microplastics and antibiotics have primarily focused on hydroponic systems or plant-level responses, with limited investigation into soil processes. This study examined the effects of two commonly used veterinary antibiotics-oxytetracycline (OTC) and sulfamethazine (SM2)-at concentrations of 0, 1, and 10 mg·kg-1 on soil nutrients and enzyme activities under combined contamination with PE microplastics at 0, 0.2%, 1%, 2%, and 5%. A 28-day soil incubation experiment was conducted using agricultural soil collected from Shenyang, China. The effects of PE+OTC and PE+SM2 composite contamination were comparatively analyzed. The results demonstrate that combined PE and antibiotic contamination significantly reduced soil organic matter (SOM), available phosphorus, available potassium, and soil enzyme activities, while significantly increased ammonium nitrogen content. Alterations in soil nutrients and properties were closely associated with changes in enzyme activity. Specifically, compared with the control, PE+OTC and PE+SM2 treatments significantly inhibited alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity by 34.1% and 40.2%, sucrase (SC) activity by 56.6% and 42.8%, and catalase (CAT) activity by 54.1% and 64.7%, respectively. Comprehensive analysis indicate that PE+OTC exerted a stronger influence on ammonium nitrogen, available phosphorus, and SC activity, whereas PE+SM2 showed greater effects on available potassium, ALP, and CAT activities. Both PE microplastics and antibiotics negatively affected soil fertility, and their combined contamination intensified the effects of individual pollutants. This enhancement may be attributed to hydrogen bonding interactions, mutual adsorption, and altered migration behavior between PE and antibiotics in soil. Currently, most research on PE-antibiotic interactions remains at the laboratory scale. Further studies are needed to elucidate the underlying mechanisms and long-term ecological consequences of composite contamination by PE, OTC, and SM2 in agricultural soils.
