Summary

Researchers examined how micro- and nanoplastics, along with their chemical additives such as bisphenols and phthalates, cause toxicity in terrestrial environments, highlighting how these synthetic polymer fragments disrupt soil ecosystems and expose organisms to compounded chemical hazards.

Plastics are synthetic materials composed of organic polymers and chemical additives such as bisphenols, phthalates, and flame retardants, which give them their unique properties. Plastics are used in a wide range of commercial applications due to their low cost,...
