Summary

Researchers reviewed how microplastics act as secondary vectors for pesticides in agricultural soils, altering the sorption, desorption, transport, persistence, and bioavailability of agrochemicals in ways that complicate conventional risk assessments.

The presence of microplastics (MPs) in agricultural soils has reshaped pesticide environmental behavior. These particles act as additional phases in the soil matrix and influence sorption, desorption, transport, persistence, and bioavailability. The magnitude of...
