Summary

This review examined how microplastics harm soil health — disrupting soil structure, water retention, microbial communities, and nutrient cycling — and how soil degradation translates into risks for human health through food and water contamination. It argues that soil microplastic pollution deserves equivalent attention to aquatic contamination.

World Soil Day is a reminder that plastic-contaminated soils affect food security, water quality and ecosystems, making soil health a critical global issue. Soil health is a critical global issue. World Soil Day reminds us that degraded soils affect food security, water quality and ecosystems. Among the threats to soil ecology, micro-nano-plastics or MNPs have […]
