Summary
Researchers developed a method to track the uptake and transport of plastic nanoparticles in crop plants, as reported in Nature Nanotechnology. The ability to trace nanoplastic movement through edible plants is critical for understanding how microplastics and nanoplastics enter the human food supply through agricultural pathways.
An article in Nature Nanotechnology presents a method to track the uptake and transport of plastic nanoparticles in crop plants.
