Although a growing number of studies have reported microplastics (MPs) in biosolids and soils, there are significant differences in the concentrations found across different regions worldwide. This has raised questions about the quality of studies due to a lack of standardized sampling and analysis methods for detecting MPs in such complex samples. In this study, we applied a systematic quantitative literature review (SQLR) methodology to analyze studies reporting MPs in sludge/biosolids and agricultural soils. We also assessed the quality of individual studies on MPs in sludge/biosolids and soils based on the inclusion of quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) procedures. There is limited understanding about MPs in soils with a history of biosolid application with only 9% of publications reporting MPs in biosolid-amended soil. There was almost eight orders of magnitude difference (3.4 × 10 |
