Summary
Researchers investigated how bisphenol A (BPA) in contaminated soil is absorbed by pepper plant roots, finding that uptake disrupts plant hormone metabolism and impairs growth in ways that vary depending on soil type, raising concerns for food safety in agricultural settings.
Soil contamination by bisphenol A (BPA) has raised considerable ecological and environmental concerns, particularly due to its potential impact on plant growth. However, the interactive effects of BPA and different soil types on soil–plant systems rem
