Summary
Researchers assessed the ecological impacts of micro- and nanoplastics in agricultural environments, finding that these sub-millimeter and sub-micron polymer fragments act as environmental pollutants that disrupt soil health and pose risks to plant and animal life in farming systems.
Micro- and nanoplastics are fragments of small plastics that are of sizes 1–5000 microns and <1 μm and consist of carbon and hydrogen atoms chained together by polymer. Micro- and nanoplastics are environmental pollutants, and their...
