Summary

Researchers reviewed how microplastics accumulate in plants and disrupt growth, nutrient uptake, and reproduction across both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Because plants form the base of the food chain, microplastic contamination of crops and wild vegetation may indirectly affect the health of animals and humans who consume them.

Microplastics generated from the fragmentation of plastic polymers constitute one of the emergent pollutants invading both terrestrial and aquatic environments. Microplastics pose serious consequences to life including plants. While the impact of microplastics on...
