This study investigates the presence and characteristics of microplastics (MPs) in commercially available compost. The research aims to estimate the quantity of MPs in compost and understand their potential environmental impact. The study found that the total number of MPs in the compost samples was 160 particles per 200 grams, with various colors (blue, black, red, yellow, and white). The MPs ranged in size from 0.06 to 1 mm and were predominantly in the form of fragments (81.87%), fibers (15.36%), and filaments (1.88%). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis identified the polymers as polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The findings highlight the need for community awareness and policy intervention to control the use of compost containing MPs in agriculture, as they can contaminate soil and potentially affect human health through the food chain. The study also suggests further research to develop effective methods for removing MPs from compost.This study investigates the presence and characteristics of microplastics (MPs) in commercially available compost.
