BellingenNSWTonnes of microplastics infiltrate Australia’s agricultural soils each year How microplastics affects soil and food health"We found every kilogram of compost contains between 1,500 and 16,000 microplastic particles. In weight, this equates to between 7 and 760 milligrams of microplastics per kilogram of compost. ""In Australia, about 26% of compost produced at organic waste processing facilities is used in agriculture. So, we estimate that between 2.7 and 206 tonnes of microplastics is being transported to Australian agricultural land from compost each year." "The absence of clear guidelines leaves composting facilities, waste processors, and end users vulnerable to unintended plastic pollution." >> <a href="https://theconversation.com/tonnes-of-microplastics-infiltrate-australias-agricultural-soils-each-year-study-shows-250624" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://theconversation.com/tonnes-of-microplastics-infiltrate-australias-agricultural-soils-each-year-study-shows-250624</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/plastic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#plastic</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/pollution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pollution</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/microplastics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#microplastics</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/waste" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#waste</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/agriculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#agriculture</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/soil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#soil</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/food" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#food</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/compost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#compost</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/landfill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#landfill</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/regulation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#regulation</a>
