Summary

Researchers reviewed emerging techniques for removing micro- and nanoplastics from soil, where these particles accumulate from agricultural practices, wastewater irrigation, and atmospheric deposition. Soil contamination is a growing concern because microplastics can interact with toxic elements and potentially enter food crops consumed by humans.

For many years, global plastic pollution has been a severe concern, and micro (nano) plastics (MNPs) have attracted the attention of researchers all over the world. Because MNPs can exhibit toxicological and interact with potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in the...
