Microplastics as vectors of antibiotics, heavy metals, and PFAS from agricultural soils to the food chain: Sources, transport pathways, and human health implications
Key Points
Microplastics significantly transport antibiotics and heavy metals in agricultural settings, revealing substantial risks.
This analysis shows the presence of PFAS linked to microplastic contamination in food systems.
Observation of transport pathways highlights the continuity of microplastics from soil to human consumption.
Findings benefit agricultural practices and public health strategies by identifying contamination risks.
