2023
A. Srividya, Adityah Ganesh, D. Rathnaprabha

Summary

Researchers reviewed how micro- and nanoplastics affect plant physiology and function — including germination, root growth, photosynthesis, and nutrient uptake — across a range of crop and wild plant species. Plant uptake of plastic particles is a key mechanism by which microplastic contamination moves from soil into the human food supply, making these effects central to understanding dietary exposure risks.

Plastic pollution has become a major environmental concern of the globe. The increasing plastic pollution has captured the attention of many researchers. Disposal of plastic on land and in water, in due course, leads to the production of various plastic particles...
