Summary
This study examined microplastic distribution in soils along major road corridors, finding contamination extending laterally from road surfaces into adjacent agricultural and natural lands. Tire wear particles dominated roadside soil contamination and decreased with distance from pavement, while lighter fiber types showed less distance-decay due to wind-driven transport.
