Despite extensive research on microplastics (MP) in marine environments, little is known about MP abundance and transport in terrestrial systems. There is, therefore, still little understanding of the main mechanisms driving the substantial transport of MP across different environmental compartments. Storm events can transport MP beyond boundaries, such as from the land to groundwater or the ocean, as has already been discovered for organic carbon transport. Urban stormwater detention ponds are suitable environments to study the impact of stormwater on the environmental fate and transport of MP. Herein, we investigate the longitudinal and vertical distribution of MP within two detention ponds with different physical characteristics. Soil samples were collected at various locations and from multiple depths (surface and subsurface layers) for measuring MP concentrations using fluorescence microscopy. Our findings show that MP are retained more near the inlet of the ponds, and MP of larger sizes were found more abundantly near inlets than outlets. We also found that MP mass and sizes decrease from surface soil to subsurface soil. In the pond, where vegetation (grass root network) was more considerable, MP were found more evenly distributed along the depth. In terms of shape, the fragments were the most abundant MP shape.

Background: The key contribution of this paper is from investigating the mortality and morbidity rates and related factors associated with COVID-19-associated-mucormycosis among Iranian patients. The existing literature is scarce on this topic, particularly in the context of Iran. The present study investigates mortality and morbidity among 62 confirmed COVID-19-associated-mucormycosis Iranian patients in relation to their demographic characteristics, laboratory test results, predisposing factors, and COVID-related factors. Material and Methods: In this prospective cohort study, the patients were identified in the fifth wave of the disease, between 1st August and 15th October 2021, with data collected at baseline with a three-week follow-up. This was a multicenter investigation with patients admitted to two clinics in Iran. 62 participants were admitted, with the key criteria of them being COVID-19-associated-mucormycosis patients. 53 out of 60 patients underwent corticosteroid therapy and debridement surgery. Intravenous remdesivir (200 mg/ kg/day at day 1, 100 mg/kg/day in following days for up to 5 days) and corticosteroids were administered for 53 out 54 patients. Oxygen therapy was only needed for 30% (n = 19) of the patients. Results: A 40% mortality rate was observed within the three-week follow-up, with deaths concentrated among those with controlled diabetes mellitus (61%) and long-term diabetes mellitus patients (an average of eight versus four years). Higher mortality was also observed in patients with higher leucocytes and those with rhino-orbital-cerebral (59%), followed by nasal (55.6%) mucormycosis. Among survivors, 32% were reinfected, and 56% suffered from loss of vision. Conclusion: The study concludes that mucormycosis is associated with a higher mortality rate among COVID-19 patients with diabetes mellitus, particularly corticosteroid recipients. Thus, urgent attention to this coinfection is warranted in Iran.
