Plastics are commonly used for packaging in the food industry. The most popular
thermoplastic materials that have found such applications are polyethylene (PE) …

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 …

The combined pollution of heavy metals and microplastics is common in natural soil
environments. Here, we collected 790 data sets from 39 studies to investigate the effects of …

In this study, the interaction between primary/secondary PE MPs and soil–microbiome-crop
complex system and PE MPs enrichment behavior in crops were studied by using the self …

Microplastic pollution is widespread in terrestrial and aquatic environments; however, a
systematic assessment of the ecological risks of microplastics is lacking. This study collected …

Due to improper plastic waste handling, microplastics (MPs) have become a serious global
problem. MPs threaten animals, plants, and humans as they are passed from one species to …

Microplastics (MPs) are small plastic pieces less than 5 mm in size. Previous studies have
focused on the sources, transports, and fates of MPs in marine or sediment environments …

Microplastic pollution has emerged as a critical global environmental issue due to its
widespread distribution, persistence, and potential adverse effects on ecosystems and …

As microplastics (MPs) are organic polymers with a carbon-based framework, they may
affect nutrient cycling. Information regarding how MPs influence N, P, and C cycling and the …

The presence of microplastics (MPs) in terrestrial ecosystems has been confirmed
worldwide. Due to their widespread distribution and diversity in habitats, insects will readily …
