Summary

This perspective piece argues that soil microplastics deserve greater research attention, noting that soils may act as major reservoirs for microplastic accumulation with significant but understudied consequences for terrestrial ecosystems and human health.

Water Emerging Contaminants & Nanoplastics is an open access international journal intended to publish high quality, peer-reviewed, and original researches related to pollutants of emerging concern in both the natural and anthropogenic water cycles, as well as its effects on the ecosystems like oceans and human health. The journal publishes research articles, reviews, perspectives, short communications, and letters to editor.
