Pour la première fois, l’Ademe a mesuré la concentration de microparticules de plastique dans la terre en France. Prairies, vignes, vergers ou grandes cultures, aucun type de sol n’est épargné.
The main conceptual idea of the text is that a "massive" and systematic contamination of French soil with microplastics has been discovered.
This discovery, considered a "first national reference", is significant because unlike the well-documented pollution of oceans, microplastic pollution in soils has been less studied.
The text highlights the concerning prevalence of microplastics (fragments smaller than 5mm) in 76% of the tested French soil samples.
