Accumulation of plastic wastes has been recently recognized as one of the most critical
environmental challenges, affecting all life forms, natural ecosystems and economy …

Microplastic contamination in soil has received increasing attention since excessive plastic
debris has been emitted directly into the terrestrial environment. Once released into the …

The ubiquitous presence of microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) in the environment
is an undeniable and serious concern due to their higher persistence and extensive use in …

Microplastic pollution is becoming a major challenge with the growing use of plastic. In
recent years, research about microplastic pollution in the environment has become a field of …

The global prevalence of microplastics (MPs) poses a potential threat and unpredictable risk
to the function and health of environmental systems. However, the research progress of soil …

Microplastics (MPs) are an emerging threat to ecosystem functioning and biota. The major
sources of MPs are terrestrial and agricultural lands. But their fate, concentration in the …

The issue of microplastic pollution emerged from the marine environment, but the terrestrial
environment is estimated to receive annually 4–23 times more plastic wastes. Microplastic …

The mass production and wide application of plastics and their derivatives have led to the
release of a large number of discarded plastic products into the natural environment, where …

As a type of emerging pollutant, microplastics exist widely in soil and continue to migrate
and transform. Recently, the potential threats of microplastics to soil health and ecological …

This is the first study to show microplastics contamination in an alluvial sedimentary aquifer
that has been capped from the atmosphere. Microplastics are often reported in biotic and …
