Microplastics (MPs) have been identified as an emerging soil pollutant and a global environmental concern. Scientists have recently paid attention to the contamination of soil by MPs as their detrimental impacts on soil systems are largely unknown. MPs are considered to be vectors for other soil contaminants, such as potentially toxic elements...
Pollution caused by the irresponsible disposal of plastics is a significant issue, particularly in developing countries like Sri Lanka.
