Abstract: As emerging persistent organic pollutants, microplastics have the characteristics of small particle size, difficult degradation in the environment and easy to adsorb toxic pollutants, which led to increasing global concern. In recent years, the pollution of microplastics in soil has become increasingly serious. The source, occurrence characteristics, detection methods and transfer behavior of microplastics in soil environment were reviewed in this paper, and the transfer mechanism and influencing factors of microplastics-loaded pollutants in soil were analyzed and summarized. Finally, some prospects are put forward for the controlling of both pollution and transfer behavior of microplastics in soil. The conclusions of this paper could provide some ideas for the remediation of microplastics pollution in soil.

Key words: microplastics, soil environment, pollutants, occurrence characteristics, transport
