Abstract:
      The article summarizes the research progress on the sources and classification of soil microplastic pollution, focusing on the transport path of microplastics and their mechanisms. On the above basis, it systematically summarizes the interaction mechanism between microplastics and other environmental pollutants and describes the potential ecological risks. The article points out that agricultural sources are the primary sources of soil microplastics, and there are significant differences in the microplastic abundance in different provinces in China. Soil physical and chemical properties, agricultural production activities, natural climate conditions, soil biological activities, microplastic properties, soil environmental conditions, and soil constitutions can affect the transport behavior of microplastics, and electrostatic interactions are the most vital force which affects their transport. In addition, microplastics are prone to causing complex pollution with other pollutants in the soil through van der Waals interactions, electrostatic interactions, and surface complexation during transport. Microplastics and their compound pollution can inevitably come into contact with various soil biological groups, thus affecting the community structure and metabolism of soil microorganisms, as well as the growth of soil animals and plants.
