Summary

Researchers examined how micro- and nanoplastics interact with heavy metals in soil, finding that plastics can alter metal mobility, bioavailability, and toxicity through adsorption and chemical reactions, raising concern that plastic pollution may worsen the risk posed by existing heavy metal contamination in agricultural and urban soils.

Various organic and inorganic contaminants have been detected in soil systems among which heavy metals are one of the most studied ones. Additionally, micro-nanoplastics have been introduced as recent contaminant into soil systems by composting, mulching, biosolid...
