A new "gold standard" for soil analysis and microplastic extraction has been developed at the University of New England (UNE) ...
New 'gold standard' framework identifies the best methods to extract six common microplastic types from different soil ...
Researchers at the University of New England have created a low-cost, high-recovery method to extract microplastics from agricultural soils, potentially establishing a global testing standard. This ...
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.
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.
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 ...
