Tracing the Path: Fate and Transport of Microplastics from Aquatic Systems to Soils
Summary
This article traces how microplastics travel from aquatic systems into soils, exploring the physical and chemical processes that govern their movement and ultimate fate in terrestrial environments. Understanding these transport pathways is essential because soil contamination by microplastics threatens agricultural productivity and creates another route for plastics to enter the human food supply.
Microplastics (MPs), which are tiny plastic particles (size<5 mm), have permeated every corner of the environment, emerging as contaminants in aquatic and soil ecosystems. This article explores the fate and transport of MPs from water systems into soils. MPs...
