Scientists raise concern: More microplastics found in rural forests than in city

Experts have found higher levels of microplastics in rural forest soil compared to city centers, raising concerns about the potential impact of fine plastics on human health and the environment.

Recent studies show that microplastics, tiny pieces of plastic that break off from everyday products, can spread widely through wind, water and soil. These particles can enter the food chain and have dangerous consequences for living organisms.

Scientists explain that the presence of microplastics in rural areas is not only due to pollution from cities, but also from agricultural activities, the use of plastic in planting, and degradable materials that spread on the soil.

Microplastics can affect not only soil health and biodiversity, but also people who consume products grown in contaminated soil. Experts recommend continuous monitoring, reduction of plastic use, and strong waste management policies to prevent further spread. /CNA
