Review of microplastics in soils: state-of-the-art occurrence, transport, and investigation methods
AI summary Read the abstract
This review synthesizes sampling, pretreatment, and analytical methods for detecting microplastics in soil environments, noting that research has largely focused on contamination levels rather than behavioral dynamics and ecological impacts. The authors call for standardized testing protocols and predictive behavior models as microplastic accumulation in agricultural soils increasingly threatens food safety and ecosystem health.
Microplastics in Soils and Sediment: Sources, Methodologies, and Interactions with Microorganisms
AI summary Read the abstract
Microplastics in soils and sediments interact with microorganisms in complex ways, affecting microbial community structure and facilitating the spread of antibiotic resistance genes. These interactions highlight that microplastic pollution poses ecological risks beyond physical contamination, potentially disrupting soil health and agricultural systems.
Microplastics in Soils and Sediment: Sources, Methodologies, and Interactions with Microorganisms
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed the sources, measurement methods, and ecological interactions of microplastics in soils and sediments, highlighting that terrestrial plastic pollution is substantial and poorly understood, and that microplastics in soil can affect microbial communities in ways that may ripple through food webs and nutrient cycles.
Microplastics in Landfill and Leachate
AI summary Read the abstract
This chapter comprehensively reviewed microplastic sources, concentrations, transport pathways, and removal techniques within landfills and their leachate — a heavily overlooked but significant vector for microplastic release into surrounding soils and waterways. Landfills act as long-term reservoirs that continuously leach microplastics into groundwater and surface water, making leachate treatment a critical and underaddressed frontier in pollution control.
Microplastics in Terrestrial Soils: Occurrence, Analysis, and Remediation
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed how microplastics from synthetic polymers have spread throughout terrestrial soils globally, examining detection methods and emerging remediation strategies for a pollutant that now persists in farmlands and natural soils alike.
