Microplastic is an emerging contaminant of concern in soil globally due to its widespread
and potential risks on the ecological system. Some basic issues such as the occurrence …

Plastics are widely used in our daily life; however, poor management and disposal result in
their ubiquity throughout the biosphere. Increased accumulation of microplastic (MP) or even …

Microplastic (MPs) pollution has become a global environmental concern with significant
impacts on ecosystems and human health. Although MPs have been widely detected in …

Plastic pollution is one of the most pressing environmental and social issues of the 21st
century. Recent work has highlighted the atmosphere's role in transporting microplastics to …

Plastic particles of less than 5 mm size, referred as microplastics, have recently become a
major environmental issue. While microplastics are well known in marine and lake systems …

Plastic pollution is one of the global pressing environmental problems, threatening the
health of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. However, the influence of plastic residues and …

Increasing production of synthetic plastics and poor management of plastic wastes have
dramatically increased the amount of plastics in the environment. In 2014, at the first United …

Microplastics are continuously released into the terrestrial environment from sources where
they are used and produced. These microplastics accumulate in soils, sediments, and …

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 …

This work reviews microplastic's impact on agroecosystem components and possible effects
on the food chain. Microplastics are sized< 5 µm, made up of diverse chemical constituents …
