Summary
Researchers reviewed the toxic effects of microplastics and nanoplastics on soil-dwelling organisms such as earthworms and insects, finding that these particles can disrupt reproduction, growth, and survival, with potential ripple effects for soil health and food production.
Microplastics and nanoplastics (M/NPs) are ubiquitous in soil environment because of agricultural, industrial, and waste management activities. They can spread and age in soil due to the physical, chemical, or biological factors related to soil and plastics....
