Microplastics have become a global environmental problem due to the ubiquitous existence. The impacts of microplastics on heavy metals behaviors in aquatic environment are widely investigated, however, the impacts of microplastics on bioaccumulation of heavy metals in vegetables in terrestrial envir...
