Summary

This study examines the fragmentation of biodegradable plastics in soil, focusing on the intermediate products formed as these materials break down from microplastics to nanoplastics and oligomers. The research highlights a significant knowledge gap regarding the environmental risks posed by these intermediate degradation products in soil ecosystems.

Fragmentation processes of BPs and the environment risks posed by BP intermediate products in soil.
