“…Microplastics have been found in soils all over the world, including Asia, Europe, North America, Africa, and Oceania, with abundances ranging from 870 particles kg −1 in home garden soil to 42,960 particles kg −1 in farmed regions. The great majority of MPs in soil were polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) [34]. However, the potential impacts of MPs in terrestrial environments are largely unexplored, despite the fact that more than 80% of plastic pollution in the oceans is usually produced, used, and disposed of on land [33].…”

“…However, some of the recent reviews on MPs in soil have revealed that little is understood about the plastic effects in soil systems [35,43,44]. As a result, MP pollution and its hazards in terrestrial ecosystems have received much attention in the past few years [30,34].…”

“…Evidence suggests that MPs can serve as a vector for the transmission of pollutants (such as heavy metals, hydrophobic organic pollutants, pharmaceuticals, personal care products, and even human pathogens) absorbed from soil, including plastic additives and some other pollutants. In addition, it affects the transport of pollutants, posing potential dangers to soil biota [1,34,51,52].…”

Microplastic (MP) pollution is a widespread global environmental concern, representing an emerging contaminant with major implications for ecosystems and human well-being. While extensive research has focused on MPs in aquatic environments, their impact on sediments and soils remains inadequately explored. Studies have confirmed the harmful effects of MPs on soil and sediment biota, as well as on the properties of these ecosystems. Furthermore, the long-term persistence of MPs within the environment contributes to their accumulation in terrestrial and marine food chains, with potential consequences for groundwater quality. Although several methods have been applied to mitigate MP pollution, some methods have drawbacks and some are not studied well, necessitating the urgent exploration of novel, sustainable, and eco-friendly approaches. Biochar is a remarkable solution for pollution removal; recently it has been used in addressing the increasingly concerning issue of microplastic contamination. This review aims to shed light on the difficulty posed by MPs in soils and sediments, while highlighting the remediation methods and the potential advantages of utilizing BC as an environmentally friendly solution for MP removal and remediation.

“…These masks have polypropylene material, flexible ear loop and metal. Many of the researcher tried to introduce the polypropylene into the soil [12], [13], [21]. Due to inappropriate disposal of plastic, it is found to create plastic pollution and potential environmental threat.…”

“…Plastic particles in the soil can have tendency to adsorb heavy metals on their surfaces. Large surface areas and the ability to serve as adsorbents for metal ions are the two characteristics of plastics, especially MP [21]. Because of the concentration of HMs caused by this adsorption process on the plastic particles, their bioavailability and mobility in the environment may be affected [17], [18], [20].…”

Microplastic (MP) contamination is a threat to soil and groundwater system. Disintegration of used plastic products under exposure to solar radiations, application of sewage sludge to the soil, plastic mulching in agricultural activities leads to the formation of microplastics in significant amounts in soil. Hence there is a need from the geo environment engineering perspective on microplastic contamination in soils. Landfills and industrial areas have microplastic pollution in abundance. The presence of microplastic may alter the behaviour of liner material and surface soil in terms of heavy metal retention capacity, shrinkage, permeability and various other properties. In the present study, the soil is artificially polluted with shredded polypropylene (Pp) fragments from single use facial mask which is extensively being used in post COVID-19 situation. Heavy metals such as Lead, Nickel, Copper and Zinc at different concentrations similar to an industrially polluted soil is applied to the plastic contaminated (Pc) and normal soil. The filtrates from the test batches are studied for Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) and concentration of heavy metals using Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometer (ICP-OES). The obtained results concluded that plastic pollution significantly varied leached out heavy metals concentration to a maximum of 4.9 times that of normal soil. The TDS of the filtrate collected from plastic polluted soil varied by 31.29%.
