Summary

Researchers reviewed how metallic nanoparticles synthesized from plant extracts and other biological sources — an eco-friendly alternative to chemical manufacturing — can be used to break down microplastics and nanoplastics. These plant-based nanomaterials offer a greener remediation strategy, though their own potential health impacts must also be carefully evaluated.

Fabrication of Plant/Biogenic-based Metallic Nanomaterials for Degradation of Micro-and Nano-PlasticsThe extensive use of plastics is an alarming issue for our environment nowadays.Among the different types of plastics, micro-plastics (MPs) have a particle size of <5 m and are formed by the fragmentation of large plastics particles.However, nano-plastics (NPs) have a particle size of <1 m and are accidentally produced by the fragmentation of larger particles.Degradation of these plastics is another revolutionary problem that has to be handled by science.Nanoscience has provided a unique path to resolve such issues.Plant-mediated metallic nanomaterial (NM) has gained greater attention over the chemical method.This is due to its ecofriendly synthesis process.This chapter focuses on the various synthesis methods for metallic nanoparticles using plant extracts and biogenic materials.The number of properties of these NMs is also discussed.Biogenic NMs used for the degradation of MPs are discussed in detail.This chapter also summarizes the resources of NPs and their adverse effect on human health.It discusses the degradation of these NPs using various plant-mediated nanoparticles.
