Article Synopsis
- Plastic pollution is widespread, even in agricultural soils that receive urban compost, posing risks to the environment and health.
- This study aimed to explore how coarse microplastics accumulate in soil over time when using different types of urban compost, analyzing samples from a 21-year experiment.
- Results showed that the compost type influenced the amount of microplastics in the soil, revealing that while the number of particles was consistent with estimates, the mass measurements varied, potentially due to processes like biological transport or physical breakdown.
