Understanding the sources of microplastics in agroecosystems
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers challenged the widely held assumption that sewage sludge spread on farmland is the primary source of microplastics in agricultural soils, finding that unrecovered agricultural plastics such as mulch films likely contribute far more — suggesting pollution prevention efforts may be misdirected.
Release of Microplastics by Terrestrial Sources into Freshwater Environments
AI summary Read the abstract
This chapter examines how terrestrial sources—including stormwater runoff, agricultural activities, and wastewater treatment plants—release microplastics into freshwater systems. Identifying and controlling these land-based inputs is critical because rivers and lakes are not just reservoirs of plastic pollution but also sources of drinking water and irrigation for human populations.
