Under flooding conditions, controlled-release fertiliser coated microplastics affect the growth and accumulation of cadmium in rice by increasing the fluidity of cadmium and interfering with metabolic pathways
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers studied the combined effects of polyurethane controlled-release fertilizer-coated microplastics and cadmium on rice growth under flooding conditions, finding that microplastics increased cadmium mobility in soil and disrupted plant metabolic pathways. The results highlight that microplastic contamination in paddy systems can worsen heavy metal accumulation in rice under flooding.
Exploration of Single and Co-Toxic Effects of Polypropylene Micro-Plastics and Cadmium on Rice (Oryza sativa L.)
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers investigated the single and combined toxic effects of polypropylene microplastics and cadmium on rice plants, finding that co-exposure altered cadmium bioavailability and produced compounded negative effects on plant growth and development.
Alleviating Microplastic and Cadmium Stress in Rice (Oryza sativa L.), Role of Molybdenum Disulfide, Zinc Oxide, and Selenium–Nanoparticles in Morpho–Physio–Biochemical Traits
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers tested whether molybdenum disulfide, zinc oxide, and selenium nanoparticles could protect rice seedlings from combined microplastic and cadmium stress, finding that all three nanoparticle types significantly improved plant growth, photosynthesis, and antioxidant defenses while reducing oxidative damage caused by the dual contaminant exposure.
Polyethylene and polypropylene microplastics reduce chemisorption of cadmium in paddy soil and increase its bioaccessibility and bioavailability
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers found that polyethylene and polypropylene microplastics reduce cadmium chemisorption in paddy soil while increasing its bioaccessibility and bioavailability, suggesting that microplastic contamination in rice paddies could enhance heavy metal uptake by crops and human dietary exposure.
Enhanced Adsorption of Cadmium onto Microplastics Derived from Polyethylene Mulching Film by Weathering
AI summary Read the abstract
Weathered polyethylene microplastics from agricultural mulch film showed more than four times greater adsorption capacity for cadmium ions compared to pristine particles, driven by increased surface roughness and oxygen-containing functional groups that develop during environmental aging. Because weathered microplastics are far more common in real environments than pristine particles, this finding significantly elevates the estimated risk of microplastics acting as vectors for heavy metal transport in contaminated soils and water.
