Bioremediation: Removing Microplastics from Soil
This book chapter reviews bioremediation techniques for removing microplastics from soil, covering the origin and properties of microplastic particles and emerging biological approaches to degrade or extract them from terrestrial ecosystems. It highlights the urgent need for scalable, low-cost solutions — particularly relevant for developing nations where microplastic contamination of agricultural soils is poorly managed.
Research on Soil Management and Conservation
Not relevant to microplastics — this is a brief editorial introduction to a journal special issue on soil management and conservation, with no substantive content about microplastic pollution.
Potential strategies for bioremediation of microplastic contaminated soil
Researchers reviewed emerging bioremediation strategies for removing microplastics from contaminated soil, highlighting the roles of plants, root-zone microbes, soil animals like earthworms, and specialized bacteria and fungi that can use enzymes to break down plastic polymers into harmless compounds. While genetic engineering of microbes shows promise for accelerating degradation, the review notes that real-world application at scale still requires significant research and development.
Bioremediation of Toxic Pollutants
This paper is not relevant to microplastics research — it is a broad review of bioremediation approaches for environmental pollutants including heavy metals and textile dyes, with no specific focus on microplastics.
Micro and Nanoplastics in Soil
This book provides a comprehensive review of the current state of knowledge on microplastics in soils, covering their sources, distribution, and interactions with plants grown in contaminated soil environments.
Microplastics accumulation in agricultural soil: Evidence for the presence, potential effects, extraction, and current bioremediation approaches
This review examines the accumulation of microplastics in agricultural soils from sources like plastic mulching and irrigation, discussing their effects on soil properties and crop growth, along with current bioremediation approaches for removing soil microplastics.
Bioremediation of Microplastic Wastes in Soil
This chapter reviews bioremediation strategies for removing microplastics from soil, focusing on microbial and biological approaches to degrading plastic particles smaller than 5 mm. The authors discuss mechanisms of microbial plastic degradation and the promise of bioremediation as a sustainable soil remediation tool.
Evidence on Potential Bioremediation of Microplastics from Soil Environment around the World
This review examines evidence for bioremediation of microplastics from soil environments, evaluating how plants, bacteria, fungi, and other organisms can help remove or break down plastic particles in terrestrial ecosystems. While soil is a primary sink for microplastics, biological approaches to soil cleanup remain underdeveloped compared to aquatic bioremediation research.
Soil Microplastic Pollution and its Remediation: An Overview
This overview reviews the scope of microplastic pollution in soils globally, summarizing contamination sources, effects on soil ecosystems, and available remediation strategies including physical, chemical, and biological approaches to address this emerging environmental problem.
Mitigation of Microplastics
This book chapter examines strategies for managing and mitigating microplastic contamination in terrestrial environments, covering source reduction, physical removal techniques, bioremediation approaches, and policy frameworks needed to address the scale of soil plastic pollution.
The trend of bioremediation as an effective technology in soil decontamination
Not relevant to microplastics — this review covers bioremediation techniques using bacteria, fungi, and plants to clean up soil contaminated with hydrocarbons, pesticides, and heavy metals.
