Summary
Researchers examined how plants absorb micro- and nanoplastics through their roots, finding that these particles travel through soil and water systems to enter the food chain via crops, raising concerns about human exposure through plant-based foods.
Study Type
Environmental
Accumulation of microplastics and nanoplastics in the environment accounts for some of the ecological and health issues in plants. They move in the environment through ocean current and atmospheric circulation, leading to their abundant accumulation in the major...
