Microplastics in Soils and Sediment: Sources, Methodologies, and Interactions with Microorganisms
Summary
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.
The massive scope of plastic and microplastic pollution in soils and sediments requires broad and thorough studies to understand details of the extent and effects of these persistent pollutants. Plastic particulate pollutants in the environment are subjected to...
