Cleaning Up the Smallest Pollutants: The Potential of Microbial Degradation in Tackling Micro- and Nano-Plastic Pollution
Summary
Researchers reviewed the potential of microbes to break down micro- and nanoplastics in the environment, including in agricultural soils where plastics enter the food chain. While microbial degradation shows promise as a cleanup strategy, significant challenges remain before it can be applied at scale.
Microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) have become increasingly alarming subjects due to their widespread presence and their potential harm to the environment. The micro-nano plastics (MNPs) are emerging as an environmental hazard as they enter the agroecosystem,...
