Microplastic contamination in soil has received increasing attention since excessive plastic
debris has been emitted directly into the terrestrial environment. Once released into the …

The issue of microplastic pollution emerged from the marine environment, but the terrestrial
environment is estimated to receive annually 4–23 times more plastic wastes. Microplastic …

Microplastics (MPs), defined as particles with diameters< 5 mm and including nanoplastics
(NPs), with diameters< 1 μm, are characterized by large specific surface areas and …

The transport of nanoplastics (NPs) through porous media is influenced by dissolved
organic matter (DOM) released from agricultural organic inputs. Here, cotransport of NPs …

Microorganisms drive the biogeochemical cycles that link abiotic and biotic processes in the
aqueous environment and are intricately associated with plastic debris. The presence of …

An abrupt rise in plastic waste has become one of the most serious global environmental
problems during the past five decades, and many strategies have been suggested to control …

As an environmentally friendly material, biochar has been widely used to remediate
soil/water contaminants such as heavy metals and organic pollutants. The addition of …

Microplastic (MP) pollution in global sediment has been intensely studied and recognized as
the ultimate sink for residual MPs in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. During MP long-term …

Natural colloids such as clays and natural organic matter (NOM) are universally present in
environments, which could interact with microplastics (MPs) and thus alter the fate and …

A large number of plastic products potentially become smaller particles, including
nanoplastics, under multiple actions in the environment. The interactions between …
