Due to the ever-increasing use of plastic products, microplastics and nanoplastics (MNPs) have become ubiquitous environmental pollutants, with their highest concentrations found in the soil. These xenobiotics can affect soil properties: pH, water holding capacity, porosity, bulk density, infiltration, cation exchange...
Microplastics (MPs) and heavy metals are widespread co-occurring contaminants in aquatic environments. Their interactions can alter metal mobility and bioavailability and may influence contaminant transfer and toxicity across aquatic food webs. This review critically synthesizes current evidence on MP–metal interaction...
Microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) act as dynamic environmental vectors across the soil-water continuum, allowing them to enter organisms through direct ingestion, leading to potential tissue accumulation. Under specific exposure conditions, these vectors can undergo trophic transfer through food chains, contri...
Microplastics have emerged as pervasive and persistent pollutants across marine, freshwater, terrestrial and atmospheric environments. Their small size and environmental persistence facilitate wide dispersal and long-term accumulation, posing significant ecological and human health risks. Beyond their intrinsic effects...
Microplastics (MPs) are pervasive in the environment, posing a significant global environmental challenge. Agricultural ecosystems are particularly vulnerable to MP contamination due to the extensive use of plastics in farming practices. This issue is further aggravated by the application of organic fertilizers, slud...
