Effects of microplastics on interactions between soil biota, soil structure and crop performance in sewage sludge-amended soils

本研究将：1。识别在当前应用和管理实践中使用的BS中的MPs对农业土壤功能和作物生产力的任何风险2。2 .为优化BS在土地上应用的田间管理实践提供技术基础，以减少对土壤、水和作物的潜在影响；向政策制定者、监管机构和公众提供证据，证明水行业意识到土壤中多氯联苯污染的潜在问题，并正在努力确定任何风险的程度和管理。

The research will:1. Identify any risks to agricultural soil function and crop productivity from MPs in BS used under current application and management practices2. Provide a technical basis for optimising field management practices for BS applications to land to reduce potential impacts to soil, water and crops;3. Provide evidence to policy makers, regulatory bodies and the public that the water industry is aware of the potential issue of MP contamination in soil, and is working to determine the extent and management of any risk.
