Mycoremediation of Micro-/Nanoplastics-Contaminated Soils
Summary
This study reviewed mycoremediation — using fungi and their enzymes — as a strategy for remediating soils contaminated with micro- and nanoplastics, with plastic pollution having increased nearly 200-fold over 50 years. Fungal bioremediation presents a cost-effective and environmentally compatible approach for restoring contaminated agricultural and natural soils, reducing the long-term human dietary exposure to microplastics from food grown in polluted land.
Plastic pollution has increased by nearly 200-fold in the last 50 years. There is a plethora of literature existing on the clear negative implications of the non-biodegradable material on land and in oceans. There are sophisticated waste management systems...
