Summary
Researchers monitored microplastic contamination in arable agricultural fields as part of a risk-based testing and reduction framework, documenting occurrence patterns and developing approaches to prioritize field-specific risk reduction for the estimated 90% of environmental microplastics found in terrestrial systems.
While plastics are found in nearly every environment, around 90 Also see: https://micro2024.sciencesconf.org/559094/document
