Summary

Researchers examined microplastic contamination levels in arable agricultural fields and developed a framework advancing from standard risk assessment toward risk-based testing and reduction strategies, noting that approximately 90% of microplastics in the environment are found in terrestrial ecosystems.

While plastics are found in nearly every environment, around 90 Also see: https://micro2024.sciencesconf.org/559094/document
