Potential Benefits and Risks for Soil Health Derived From the Use of Organic Amendments in Agriculture (2019, background): “Furthermore, microplastics can interact with soil contaminants, altering their ecotoxicity and mobility/bioavailability (many contaminants can become adsorbed onto microplastics) [164,165].”
Characteristic of microplastics in the atmospheric fallout from Dongguan city, China: preliminary research and first evidence (2017, background): “The chemical weathering of microplastics could be confirmed by FTIR spectra (Wang et al. 2017).”
Occurrence and ingestion of microplastics by zooplankton in Kenya's marine environment: first documented evidence (2018, background): “…situated offshore of the territorial waters, it was likely that the high microplastics abundance found came from land-based sources adjacent to the study area, such as major towns (Kilifi, Malindi, Ngomeni and Kipini) and rivers (Sabaki and Tana) which discharge into the ocean (Wang et al. 2017).”
