Summary

This review examined the persistence, fate, and properties of micro- and nanoplastics in soil environments, highlighting significant knowledge gaps in understanding how these particles behave once deposited in terrestrial systems. Because soils represent a major and understudied reservoir for plastic particles, clarifying their persistence and mobility is critical for assessing long-term contamination of crops and groundwater that feed into human exposure.

Plastic pollution has been a heavy drawback for a number of years; these plastics (MNPs) have gathered notice from researchers all over the world. The fate, determination, and properties of microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) in soil are not well-known. In...
