Summary

This meta-analysis pools data from 180 studies to compare how biodegradable and non-biodegradable microplastics affect plant health. It found that both types can harm plant growth and physiology, which matters because contaminated crops could eventually transfer microplastics into the food supply that humans depend on.

Study Type Review

s: Microplastics will coexist with us humans for a long time, however there is a lack of research on the impact of non-biological and biodegradable microplastics (NMP vs BMP) on plants. In this paper, 180 articles about the effects of NMP and BMP on t
