Nanoplastic Transport in Soil via Bioturbation by Lumbricus terrestris

Abstract

Plastic pollution is increasingly perceived as an emerging threat to terrestrial environments, but the spatial and temporal dimension of plastic exposure in soils is poorly understood. Bioturbation displaces microplastics (>1 mu m) in soils and likely also nanoplastics (
