Microplastics from agricultural plastic mulch films: A mini-review of their impacts on the animal reproductive system
Plastic mulch films (PMFs) are widely used to improve crop quality and quantity. Although they provide a range of benefits, they degrade into widespread microplastics (MPs), which can cause an unavoidable risk of environmental problems. The residue of PMFs is a significant source of MPs in soils, wh...
