Summary
This paper examines the aging of polyethylene mulch films in agricultural settings, finding that service-life degradation reduces mechanical strength and lowers recovery rates. Residual macroplastics, microplastics, and plastic additives such as phthalates accumulate in soils as a result.
Assessing the aging and environmental implications of polyethylene mulch fi lms in agricultural landThe aging of mulch fi lms during service life reduces their mechanical strength and lowers the recovery rate.Accumulation of the residual macroplastics, microplastics, and additives such as PAEs alter the soil microbial environment, potentially impacting crop and human health.
