Effect of Microplastics on the Bioavailability of (Semi-)Metals in the Soil Earthworm <i>Eisenia fetida</i>

Microplastics have a large surface area and hydrophobic characteristics, which helps them to easily adsorb organic matter and trace metals in soil. This interaction has the potential to alter soil physicochemical properties, affect the bioavailability of metals, and finally influence the toxicity of...
