Summary

Researchers used multi-omics approaches to investigate how microplastics and nanoplastics disrupt nitrogen assimilation pathways in hydrophytes, finding that plastic particle exposure impairs the nutrient removal function these aquatic plants provide in eutrophic water bodies.

Hydrophytes mitigate water eutrophication; however, microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) may affect nutrient removal.
