In this paper, we evaluate the performance of a disc filter that retains microplastic (MP) particles from treated wastewater. A focal plane array-based Fourier transform infrared imaging technique enabled MP quantification and an in-house-built software ...

Plastic film mulching, widely used in agriculture, leads to microplastic (MP) pollution in soils. While biodegradable polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PBAT) films may offer a solution, their impacts on subsurface soils and microorganisms remain unclea...

The hydro-geomorphological background in microplastic (MP) deposition and mobilization is often neglected, though the sampling environment is the key point in a monitoring scheme. The aim of the study was to analyze the environmental driving factors of M...

The absorption of microplastics (MPs; size < 5 mm) by plants has garnered increasing global attention owing to its potential implications for food safety. However, the extent to which leafy vegetables can absorb large amounts of MPs, particularly those >...

As soil invertebrates with a unique digestive system, earthworms are regularly used as bioindicators and test organisms. Due to their burrowing activity and casting, earthworms are involved in the structuring of the soil. However, this way of life expose...

The concentration of microplastics (MPs) in two important Hungarian freshwater habitats was determined in the size range of 50 µm?1 mm. Lake Balaton (LB) is the largest shallow lake in Central Europe, with a significant role in recreation and tourism. It...

The risks brought by microplastics (MPs) to agricultural soil structure and crop growth in the agricultural system are the focus of global debate. MPs enter the soil through various routes, such as through the use of agricultural mulch and atmospheric de...

This systematic review represents one of the first attempts to compare the efficacy of the full suite of management interventions developed to control (prevent or remove) microplastics (MPs) in freshwater bodies, both man-made and natural. The review als...
