Researchers examined how microplastic particles in soil can accumulate and transport microbial pathogens, suggesting that plastic pollution in terrestrial environments may not only carry chemical contaminants but also act as vehicles for spreading disease-causing microorganisms through ecosystems.
Plastics have gradually become one of the most ubiquitous household materials in the modern world. Although already infamously known to pollute the environment due to their persistence, plastics are gradually raising further concerns as and when they result in the...
