1) Australians are washing microplastics down the drain and it’s ending up on farms: Australian wastewater treatment plants produce thousands of tons of treated sewage sludge every year. This nutrient-rich material is then dried to make “biosolids,” which are used to fertilize agricultural soil.
Many countries around the world are doing this.
2) A professor of environmental toxicology and biodiversity at Leiden University in the Netherlands, says crops absorb nanoplastic particles (1-100 nm); and many studies confirm that microplastics (1-5000um/<5mm) can be absorbed by roots.
Do we have anyone in Thailand looking into this? Import too?
3) the sources of microplastics…
4) the effects of microplastics in our bodies…
