Microplastics Effects in the Terrestrial Environment
Summary
Microplastics released into soil systems interact with soil chemistry, microbial communities, and plant uptake pathways in ways that threaten terrestrial ecosystem health over time. Because soils are foundational to food production and filter water that reaches humans, microplastic accumulation in terrestrial environments carries direct implications for agricultural safety and human dietary exposure.
For the past 150 years, the production of plastics has provided many solutions. However, the release of microplastics into soil systems presents hazardous potential, due to its resilience, endurance, and various interactions that occur in these complex matrices....
