• Macro- and micro- plastics in soil-plant system: Effects of plastic mulch film residues on wheat (Triticum aestivum) growth. (2018, background): “In recent years, soil scientists have made progress in researching microplastics in terrestrial ecosystems andnew techniques for quantifying and identifying microplastics in the soil have been developed, applied and debated (Bläsing and Amelung, 2018; Claessens et al., 2013; Elert et al., 2017; Zhan”
• Microplastics Effects on Reproduction and Body Length of the Soil-Dwelling Nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (2020, background): “Although reliable data on the prevalence of MP in soils is scarce (Watteau et al., 2018), soils are presumably large sinks for MP and MP may harm soil organisms (Bläsing and Amelung, 2018; Hurley and Nizzetto, 2018).”
• Microplastics in Swiss Floodplain Soils. (2018, positive): “15 Industrial plastics, littering, road dust and diffuse atmospheric deposition, sedimentation from water flooding the soils or irrigation are other important sources of MPs in the environment.(14) MP concentrations up to 67,500 mg kg have recently been found at an industrial site in Australia.”
