Summary

Researchers reviewed current laboratory methods for extracting, separating, identifying, and quantifying microplastics in soils and terrestrial systems, noting that the absence of standardized protocols continues to hinder accurate assessment of plastic contamination in land environments.

Study Type Environmental

Microplastic (MP) contamination is a current global problem in the environment and specifically in soils. Plastics enter the soils through multiple pathways, such as agricultural application, organic amendments from wastewater treatment plants, landfills, or...
