Summary
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.
The production of synthetic polymers has increased in manifolds since the advancement of petroleum engineering. These cosmopolitan artificial materials are now persistent in almost every ecosystem on planet earth. This could be attributed to the higher tendency of...
