Summary

This study used the RHIZOtest system to investigate how polystyrene nanoplastics affect lead uptake in barley plants, finding that nanoplastics reduced lead bioaccumulation by adsorbing the metal and reducing its bioavailability to roots. At the highest lead concentrations, the adsorption effect was most pronounced.

Polymers

Most studies on nanoplastics (NPs) focus on aquatic environments, overlooking their combined bioaccumulation with pollutants in terrestrial ecosystems. This study addresses a part of this gap by investigating how polystyrene nanoplastics (PS-NPs) affect the bioaccumulation and translocation of lead (Pb) in Hordeum vulgare L. plants. Using the RHIZOtest device for precise soil contamination control, we quantified PS-NPs (50 nm) in plant shoots via pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py-GCMS) after plant KOH digestion. Our findings revealed that PS-NPs reduce Pb bioaccumulation and make adsorbed Pb onto PS-NPs less bioavailable to plants. For the highest Pb concentration, the Pb uptake index (PUI) followed the trend: Free Pb > NPs + Pb > Pb primary adsorbed by NPs, showing reduced Pb translocation to shoots in the presence of PS-NPs. Moreover, the presence of Pb decreased the bioavailability of PS-NPs probably in response to PS-NPs aggregation or modified charge. The PS-NPs concentrations in shoots range from 275.2 to 400 μg g, representing 3.9 to 5.75% of the total PS-NPs. This study highlights the intricate interactions between nanoplastics and metals in soil-plant systems and emphasizes the need for further research on their combined effects and potential risks to food safety.
