Bioremediation: Removing Microplastics from Soil
This book chapter reviews bioremediation techniques for removing microplastics from soil, covering the origin and properties of microplastic particles and emerging biological approaches to degrade or extract them from terrestrial ecosystems. It highlights the urgent need for scalable, low-cost solutions — particularly relevant for developing nations where microplastic contamination of agricultural soils is poorly managed.
