Polyester microplastic fibers affect soil physical properties and erosion as a function of soil type

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

    Mishandling of plastic waste can lead to environmental contamination, and indeed, small plas- tic pArticles have been documented even in the most remote areas of the globe (Bergami et_al, 2020; Napper et_al, 2020). Most studies on plastic pollution concern aquatic environments, although most plastics are likely present in the terrestrial environment (estimated in quantities 4 to 23 times greater than those in the ocean; Horton et_al, 2017). Microplastics (MPs) can reach agricultural soils through different routes: (i) incorporation of compost, sewage sludge, coatings of seeds and fertilizers, and other organic compounds often contaminated with . . .
