Summary
Two studies provided direct evidence that sub-micrometre plastic particles accumulate in terrestrial plants, demonstrating that plastic contamination extends into the food chain through crop uptake. This finding raises important questions about human dietary exposure to micro- and nanoplastics via commonly consumed plant foods.
