Restoration of Micro-/Nano plastics: Contaminated Soil by Phytoremediation
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed phytoremediation as a technology for cleaning up soils contaminated with micro- and nanoplastics, examining its principles, applicability, and practical limitations. Understanding plant-based remediation strategies is essential for developing scalable, low-cost solutions to reverse the terrestrial plastic pollution that threatens soil health and food safety.
This chapter gives an overview of an environmental remediation technology, including its principles, applicability, utilization, and advantages/disadvantages. This report is reported for information view only. Information used in this was collected from periodicals,...

Mitigation of the Micro- and Nanoplastic Using Phycoremediation Technology
AI summary Read the abstract
Phycoremediation—using algae to capture and remove pollutants—emerges as a promising biological strategy for mitigating micro- and nanoplastic contamination, particularly in Asia where plastic consumption is highest. This approach offers a cost-effective and environmentally sustainable alternative to conventional plastic removal technologies.
Biotechnology Remediation and Environmental Behavior of Microplastics in Soils: A Review
AI summary Read the abstract
This 20-year review synthesizes global research on microplastic pollution in agricultural soils, covering distribution patterns, migration mechanisms, and the potential of microbial and enzymatic biodegradation as remediation strategies. Given that soil microplastics can enter food chains and threaten human health, advancing biotechnology-based removal methods is essential for protecting both ecosystems and the food supply.
Soil Remediation Under Microplastics Pollution
AI summary Read the abstract
While microplastic research has focused heavily on marine environments, agricultural soils are also significantly contaminated, with plastics accumulating from irrigation water, sewage sludge application, and plastic mulch films. Soil remediation strategies for microplastic pollution are urgently needed given that contaminated farmland can transfer particles directly into food crops and groundwater.
Soil Remediation Under Microplastics Pollution
