Airborne microplastics enter plant leaves and end up in our food
Summary
Researchers identified a previously overlooked pathway by which airborne microplastics can enter crop leaves directly through foliar uptake, with implications for both ecological contamination and the presence of microplastics in the human food supply.
Evidence for a previously overlooked route for microplastics to enter crops and reach plant tissues has implications for ecology and human health. Evidence for a previously overlooked route for microplastics to enter crops and reach plant tissues has implications for ecology and human health.
