Summary

Researchers reviewed the growing contamination of agricultural soil and water by micro- and nanoplastics, finding that plastic debris disrupts soil structure, inhibits seed germination, reduces crop yields, and introduces toxic additives into the food production chain, with the COVID-19 pandemic accelerating plastic waste generation and agricultural exposure.

Micro and nanoplastic debris in soil, aquatic, terrestrial and groundwater resources have jeopardized the food production system and human health and increased the vulnerability of the environmental ecosystem. The recent COVID pandemic has accelerated the pace of...
