Effects of Micro-Nanoplastics Exposure to Earthworms in the Soil System
Summary
Researchers investigated how micro- and nanoplastic exposure affects earthworms in soil systems, examining toxicity mechanisms and interactions with co-occurring heavy metals and other contaminants. The findings indicate that MNP contamination can impair soil productivity and earthworm health, threatening the foundation of terrestrial food webs.
Micro-nanoplastics (MNPs) are emerging contaminants that have been broadly identified as a danger to soil systems. MNPs are able to show toxicity and interact with heavy metals and other toxic elements in the soil systems, affecting soil productivity and causing...
