Abstract | It is important to turn our attention to plastics in the freshwater and soil environments. There are issues caused by visible plastic contamination of beaches, rivers and soils, and in the ingestion and entanglement of wildlife. There is also increasing concern about the potential impacts of micro-plastics in soils, air, the water environment, the food chain and on human and plant health. |
