Microplastics are widespread contaminants leading to environmental exposure. While
studies on the prevalence in human tissues have multiplied, little is known about their …

Micro-and nano-plastics (MNPs) have received considerable attention over the past 10
years due to their environmental prevalence and potential toxic effects. With the increase in …

Abstract Microplastics (MPs)/nanoplastics (NPs) are widely found in the natural environment,
including soil, water and the atmosphere, which are essential for human survival. In the …

Microplastics (MPs) and heavy metals (HMs) in soil contamination are considered an
emerging global problem that poses environmental and health risks. However, their …

Microplastics (MPs), including conventional hard-to-biodegrade petroleum-based and faster
biodegradable plant-based ones, impact soil structure and microbiota in turn affecting the …

Plastics have revolutionised human industries, thanks to their versatility and durability.
However, their extensive use, coupled with inadequate waste disposal, has resulted in …

Microplastics (MPs) are small plastic debris (< 5 mm) that result from the fragmentation of
plastic due to physical and physiochemical processes. MPs are emerging pollutants that …

The soil environment is a critical component of the global ecosystem and is essential for
nutrient cycling and energy flow. Various physical, chemical, and biological processes occur …

The large-scale utilization of plastic products in agricultural facility production has resulted in
considerable accumulation of microplastics in the soil. However, there is a lack of systematic …

Soil is the source and sink of microplastics (MPs), which is more polluted than water and air.
In this paper, the pollution levels of MPs in the agriculture, roadside, urban and landfill soils …
