Toxic Compounds Tracing Related to the Microplastic and Microrubber Waste in the Soil around Municipal Solid Waste Landfill in Southwest Iran and Estimating Their Associated Human Exposure Risk

Abstract

Abstract Microplastics and Microrubbers are emerging environmental pollutants that act as vectors for toxic contaminants. Landfills are significant sources releasing these particles. The present descriptive-applied research aims to investigate toxic ... Practical Applications Microplastics (MPs) and microrubbers (MRs) are plastic fragments smaller than 5 mm in size, raising concerns because of their widespread distribution in the environment, the potential risks they pose to humans, and the ...
