Microplastics (MPs) have been identified as an emerging soil pollutant and a global environmental concern. Scientists recently paid attention to the contamination of by MPs their detrimental impacts on systems are largely unknown. considered be vectors for other contaminants, such potentially toxic elements (PTEs) organic contaminants.

Kirkuk city is known for its industrial activities, especially oil and cement production, as well road traffic. The aim of this study was to assess potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in the soil plants from urban areas by measuring pollution indices estimating effect that has on environment. Leaf samples were taken 10 different locations Kirkuk. These pre-treated using acid digestion method conc...
