Microplastics are an emerging and persistent pollutant due to their threat to global
ecological systems and human health. Recent studies showed that microplastics have …

Plastic particles of diameters ranging from 1 to 1000 nm and> 1 µm to 5 mm are respectively
known as nanoplastics and microplastics, and are collectively termed micro (nano) plastics …

Karst regions, due to their unique topography, may be more susceptible to contaminants
such as microplastics from other ecosystems. However, few studies reported the occurrence …

The concentration of airborne microplastics is largely unknown in the remote high mountain
area of the Tibetan Plateau. Here we report airborne microplastic concentrations of 2.5–58.8 …

While microplastic analysis in aquatic systems is rather well standardized, the determination
of microplastics in terrestrial samples has been less explored. Here, we review methods for …

Agricultural activities are among the most significant sources of microplastics (MPs) in water.
However, few studies have explored the effect of irrigation on the fate of MPs in agricultural …

Waste plastics enter the environment (water, soil, and atmosphere) and degrade into micro-
and nano-plastics (MNPs) through physical, chemical, or biological processes. MNPs are …

As a burgeoning pollutant, microplastics (MPs) has elicited global concern. However,
ecological effects and mechanisms of MPs on plant-soil system are still poorly understood …

Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous in agricultural soils, but to what extent and how
environmental factors determine the source and fate of MPs in agricultural soils is not clear …

As plastic products are widely used in all walks of life, plastic waste is also accumulating in
the environment. Today, microplastic pollution in the soil environment has become an …
