Summary
Researchers reviewing micro- and nanoplastic effects on plants found that these particles reduce root development, impair photosynthesis by disrupting chlorophyll ratios, and disturb carbon-to-nitrogen balance, posing a significant threat to plant health in contaminated soils.
The extensive use of plastic has resulted in severe environmental, social, economic, and health issues. Mismanagement of plastic waste leads to the accumulation of micro–nanoplastic (MNP) pollution in the environment. The use of microplastic-containing...
