A mini-review of microplastics as contaminants in the soil environment.
PMID: Sci Total Environ. 2019 Jul 15 ;691:848-857. Epub 2019 Jul 15. PMID: 31326808 Abstract Title: Microplastics as contaminants in the soil environment: A mini-review. Abstract: Microplastics (MPs) have become a global environmental concern because of their ubiquitous presence. While extensive microplastic researches have focused on the marine environment, pervasive MPs contamination in soil and …

Importance of atmospheric transport for microplastics deposited in remote areas.
PMID: Environ Pollut. 2019 Jul 23 ;254(Pt A):112953. Epub 2019 Jul 23. PMID: 31362258 Abstract Title: Importance of atmospheric transport for microplastics deposited in remote areas. Abstract: Atmospheric transport is an important pathway for the deposition of micro- and nano-plastics in remote areas. However, the sources and fate of atmospheric microplastics remain poorly understood. A …
