Microplastic in the Terrestrial Ecosystem of India
Summary
This review documented sources and distribution of microplastics across India's terrestrial ecosystems — including agricultural lands, urban soils, and road surfaces — and assessed their effects on soil health, plant uptake, and terrestrial organisms. Terrestrial microplastic contamination is a critical but undermonitored exposure pathway, as particles accumulate in cropland soils and can enter the human diet through fruits, vegetables, and grains.
Microplastics, identified as plastic fragments that are less than five millimeters in size, have emerged as a major environmental pollutant across various ecosystems globally, including the terrestrial landscapes of India. These particles come from a variety of...
