Summary
Researchers investigated how microplastic particles alter soil permeability, finding that plastic contamination measurably affects the physical structure of agricultural and environmental soils. Changes to soil permeability have cascading effects on water infiltration and contaminant transport, potentially accelerating the spread of microplastics and associated chemicals through groundwater systems.
Plastic is now pervasive in the environment, making up the majority of the tras...
