Background: Plastics have conveyed great benefits to humanity and made possible some of
the most significant advances of modern civilization in fields as diverse as medicine …

Although microplastics are emerging marine pollutants that have recently attracted
increasing attention, it is still difficult to identify their sources. This study reviewed 6487 …

The aim of this study was to review microplastics (MPs) occurrence in sewage sludge from
wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and assess implications of sludge application to …

As emerging contaminants, microplastics and nanoplastics (MPs/NPs) are increasingly
widespread in soil environment. The present paper reviews available analytical methods for …

Land-applied biosolids can be a considerable source of microplastics in soils. Previous
studies reported microplastics accumulation in soils from biosolid application, however, little …

With the increasing use of plastics, nano-and micro-plastic (NMP) pollution has become a
hot topic in the scientific community. Ubiquitous NMPs, as emerging contaminants, are …

Plastics, due to their varied properties, find use in different sectors such as agriculture,
packaging, pharmaceuticals, textiles, and construction, to mention a few. Excessive use of …

Highlights Soil pollution by microplastics (MPs) has steadily grown in recent years. MPs may
interact with pesticides that reach the soil during pest control. MPs increase adsorption and …

Micro/nanoplastics are emerging agricultural pollutants globally. Micro/nanoplastics can
adhere to terrestrial plant surfaces, be absorbed and transported by plants, and accumulate …

Soil is polluted with plastic waste from macro to submicron level. Our understanding of
macroplastics (> 5 mm) occurrence and behavior has remained comparatively elusive …
