Microplastics （MPs）, as a type of emerging environmental pollutant with a particle size < 5 mm, have been frequently detected in environmental matrices. MPs pollution in soils has been attracting the scientific community due to the increasing contaminant areas and continuous accumulation, leading to a high risk to crop production. In addition, recent studies have observed that long-term exposure to MPs could seriously harm the soil ecosystem because of their fine particle size and persistence in soils.

Article Synopsis
- Microplastics (MPs) pose significant risks to both ecological environments and human health, raising a notable concern among researchers today.
- * MPs can easily enter the human body through ingestion, inhalation, and skin contact, mainly via food, water, dust, and personal care products, and have been found in various organs and bodily fluids.
- * Once inside, MPs can lead to serious health issues, such as toxicity, DNA damage, and inflammation, and may also carry additional pollutants, complicating their harmful effects.
