Ecosystem services such as pollination and biocontrol may be severely affected by
emerging nano/micro-plastics (NMP) pollution. Here, we synthesize the little-known effects …

Plastic film mulching can maintain soil water and heat conditions, promote plant growth and
thus generate considerable economic benefits in agriculture. However, as they age, these …

Despite the calorific value of plastic waste being comparable to that of fossil fuels, its direct
utilisation in the internal combustion engine is not a viable option due to a technical difficulty …

Microbiological degradation of polymers offers a promising approach for mitigating
environmental plastic pollution. This study (i) elucidated the diversity and structure of …

Microorganisms from L. terrestris gut previously exposed to different types of plastic (PET,
LDPE, LLDPE, and PS) were studied to be used as probiotics of earthworms in plastic …

As plastic waste continues to accumulate in natural environments, the impact of aged
microplastics (MPs) on soil ecosystems is increasingly becoming a matter of global concern …

Plastics introduced into the natural environment persist, degrade, and fragment into smaller
particles due to various environmental factors. Microplastics (MPs)(ranging from 1 μm to 5 …

The accumulation of polyethylene microplastics (PE-MPs) in soil has raised considerable
concerns; however, the effects of their persistence and mitigation on agroecosystems have …

This review explores the hidden hazards associated with the reuse of treated wastewater
and sewage sludge in agriculture while proposing mitigation strategies. It examines the …

Microplastics (MPs) have garnered global attention due to their widespread presence and
potential harm to ecosystem. Nevertheless, the existing body of research on the effects of …
