Microplastics in Agriculture:Challenges for Regulation

摘要

MICROPLASTICS, small pieces of plastic, less than 5 mm in length, occur in the environment as a consequence of plastic pollution. Microplastics are increasingly seen as an environmental problem of global proportions. In fact, awareness about this issue is increasing in the policy development. The microplastic issue is already addressed in a few regulations and policy instruments on international and national levels.
