Summary

Researchers reviewed the global distribution of microplastics and nanoplastics in agricultural soils and terrestrial environments, finding that these particles are far more widespread on land than previously appreciated and pose a silent but growing threat to soil health and the food we grow.

The worldwide abundance of microplastics (MP) and nanoplastics (NP) is generally identified as a persistent problem to the marine environment and is already deemed a silent threat in aquatic environments. However, their presence in agricultural soil and terrestrial...
