Association of microplastics with water-stable aggregates formed under laboratory conditions
Scientists found that tiny plastic particles in soil can break apart the natural clumps that keep soil healthy and stable. Different types of plastics had different effects, with some plastics causing more damage to soil structure than others. This matters because damaged soil could affect how well crops grow and how plastic pollution moves through the environment, potentially impacting our food supply.
The Re-distribution of Pristine and Aged Microplastics (<50 µm) in Soil Aggregate Fractions
Researchers investigated how pristine and aged microplastics smaller than 50 micrometers redistribute among soil aggregate fractions during aggregation in two soil textures amended with organic matter, finding that aggregate formation actively partitions microplastics in ways influenced by soil texture and particle aging.
