ABSTRACT
Conjugation with the increment of consumption of polypropylene (PP) masks and antidepressants during pandemic, PP microplastics (MPs) and Venlafaxine (VEN) widely co-existed in surface waters. However, their environmental fate and the combined toxicity were unclear. Hence, we investigated the adsorption behaviors, and associated mechanisms of PP MPs for VEN. The impact factors including pH, salinity, and MPs aging were estimated. The results indicated PP MPs could adsorb amount of VEN within 24 h. The pseudo second-order kinetic model (R2 = 0.97) and Dubinin-Radushkevich model (R2 = 0.89) fitted well with the adsorption capacity of PP MPs for VEN, implying that chemical adsorption accompanied by electrostatic interaction might be the predominant mode for the interactions between PP MPs and VEN. Meanwhile, the adsorption capacity of PP MPs declined from pH of 2.5-4.5 and then increased from 4.5 to 9.5. The increased salinity (5-35 ppt) significantly suppressed the adsorption capacity. Aging by sunlight and UV triggered the formation of new functional group (carbonyl) on MPs, and then enhanced the adsorption capacity for VEN. Gaussian Model analysis further evidenced the electrostatic adsorption occurring in PP MPs and VEN. The combined exposure to PP MPs and VEN showed significantly antagonistic toxicity on Daphnia magna. The adsorption of VEN by PP MPs mitigated the lethal effects and behavioral function impairment posed by VEN on animals, implying the potential protective effects on zooplankton by PP MPs. This study for the first time provides perspective for assessing the environmental fate of MPs and antidepressants in aquatic system.
