Fertilisers are a major source of microplastic pollution in agricultural soil, a long-running experiment in the UK has shown, and this pollution has increased dramatically in the past 50 years. Samuel ...
New 'gold standard' framework identifies the best methods to extract six common microplastic types from different soil textures, helping protect farmland and health. (Nanowerk News) A new ‘gold ...
Current techniques for measuring nano/microplastic (N/MP) concentrations in soil require the soil organic matter content to be separated and have limited resolution for analyzing N/MPs sized <1 m.
Plastic is everywhere in the environment, and while earlier research efforts have dealt predominantly with the ocean and aquatic systems, soil has increasingly come into focus, especially soils in ...
Rows of gray plastic film stretch across a field of soil. Leafy green strawberry plants poke out of holes in the top of the film. Agricultural plastics, such as this mulch film covering strawberry ...
New research shows that wind carries microplastics from wastewater at far higher levels than scientists initially thought. As the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering rep orted, the microplastics ...
But how much plastic are we really breathing in? And should we be worried? A modelling study published in the journal Nature earlier this year suggests the answer may be more complicated – and perhaps ...
Wuhan University-led research is reporting the development of a revivable self-assembled supramolecular biomass fibrous framework (a novel foam filter) that efficiently removes microplastics from ...
Researchers have devised a novel and simple method to measure nano/microplastic concentrations in soil using spectroscopy at two wavelengths A team of researchers has developed a novel and simple ...
