Discussion

Analysis revealed significant microplastic abundance differences based on soil depth and land type, highlighting environmental concerns.

Mulched farmland had significantly higher microplastic abundance, with 1650 particles/kg detected.
Microplastics were most common in the upper soil layer, with a decrease in abundance as depth increased.
Major polymer types identified were polyethylene terephthalate and polypropylene, indicating prevalent contamination sources.
Color analysis showed that black microplastics comprised about 59% of samples, signaling specific pollution characteristics.

Zulkarnain et al. (2025) studied this question.
