Profile of microplastic types and soil biological response in the subsurface layer: A case study of the Surabaya landfill
Summary
A case study of a Surabaya landfill characterized microplastic types and soil biological responses in subsurface layers, documenting contamination profiles and ecological impacts at a major urban waste disposal site. The findings underscore that landfills are significant terrestrial hotspots for microplastic pollution, with subsurface contamination posing risks to soil health and groundwater that extend well beyond the immediate disposal area.
Background: Microplastic contamination has become an urgent environmental issue, with increasing evidence that its impacts are not limited to aquatic ecosystems but also extend to terrestrial ecosystems. Urban soils, particularly around temporary waste disposal sites (TWDS), are hotspots for...
