Popis: As one of the most common and persistent emerging human-made pollutants, microplastics (MPs) have become a global environmental problem. Although many studies have demonstrated the impact of MPs on aquatic organisms, the potential effects on terrestrial fauna are relatively unknown, even though soil is a major sink for plastic pollution. In this study, earthworms (Eisenia fetida) were exposed to MPs from tires (TMPs) in artificial soil at different TMP concentrations (0, 1, 5, 10, and 20%, w/w), at different TMP size fractions (2 mm-350 μm; 350 μm-50 μm; 50 μm-25 μm; and
