Soil contamination by microplastics: current panorama
Abstract
Currently, MP microplastics are considered an emerging pollutant, whose effects on the planet's ecosystems have been poorly studied, the objective of this research was to determine the state of the art of MP in the soil matrix. An analysis of various sources was carried out, such as peer-reviewed publications, including scientific journals and books, in databases academic including ScienceDirect, Web of Knowledge, Scopus, Web of Science, among others; a specific time range in relation to articles was not defined in the research due to the low availability of works. Ninety-six articles with different topics were analyzed, among which the experimental approach and research stand out. According to the analysis carried out it is that concluded that MP is an emerging type of contamination and due to the fact that the interest to know its effects is recent, there are still few data, as a consequence, the concentrations in soils are unknown, as well as the effects on the environment and human health. This research topic it is in its still its theoretical research stage.
