“…However, whether the NMP adsorbed with contaminants will enter the organism’s body depends on the organism’s traits, such as feeding behavior [ 54 ]. If the contaminated NMPs do not enter the body, the bioavailability may be decreased, as NMP acts as a sink for the contaminant.…”

“…Following this study, other researchers used lower exposure doses which were more comparable to environmentally relevant concentrations to study the effects of microplastics on earthworms [ 20 , 27 , 28 , 29 ]. Furthermore, the impact of micro(nano)plastics on the bioaccumulation of other contaminants in earthworms represents another significant research domain [ 30 , 31 ]. In particular, several studies investigated the combined effects of microplastics and heavy metals (e.g., zinc and arsenic) [ 32 , 33 ] or organic chemicals [ 26 , 34 ].…”

“…Cluster #2 “ingestion” had 27 members and a high Silhouette value (larger than 0.7). It has been shown that micro(nano)plastics can be ingested by earthworms due to their small sizes [ 30 , 43 ]. For instance, Wang et al [ 34 ] used Nile red fluorescence imaging and clearly observed the ingestion of polyethylene (PE, ≤300 μm) and polystyrene (PS, ≤250 μm) particles by the earthworm Eisenia fetida .…”

“…Microplastics damage soil organisms, in particular earthworms (e.g. Cui et al 2022, Tibbett et al 2020. The latter paper summarizes: "The lack of research effort in key areas of high priority in the threats to soil biodiversity are a concerning finding and requires some consideration and debate in the research community."…”
