Global pollution by plastics derived from petroleum has fostered the development of carbon–
neutral, biodegradable bioplastics synthesized from renewable resources such as modern …

Microplastics, the microscopic plastics, are fragments of any type of plastic that are being
produced today as plastic waste originating from anthropogenic activities. Such …

Microplastics (MPs) are a type of emerging contaminants that pose a potential threat to
global terrestrial ecosystems, including agroecosystems. In recent years, MPs in soil and …

Plastic pollution in various forms has emerged as the most severe environmental threat.
Small plastic chunks, such as microplastics and nanoplastics derived from primary and …

Microplastic (MPs) pollution has become a global environmental concern with significant
impacts on ecosystems and human health. Although MPs have been widely detected in …

Microplastics (MPs) co-occur widely with diverse contaminants in soils. However, few data
are available on their impacts on soil chemical and microbial properties of heavy metal …

It is widely known that microplastics are present everywhere and they pose certain risks to
the ecosystem and humans which are partly attributed to the leaching of additives and …

Plastics are widely used in our daily life; however, poor management and disposal result in
their ubiquity throughout the biosphere. Increased accumulation of microplastic (MP) or even …

The inhomogeneity of plastisphere and soil may result in different microbial communities,
thus potentially affecting soil functions. Biodegradable plastics offer an alternative to …

Although individual toxicity of microplastics (MPs) to organism has been widely studied,
limited knowledge is available on the interactions between heavy metals and MPs, as well …
