Abstract Micro (nano) plastics (MNPs) are categorized as emerging persistent pollutants that
occur widely in various ecosystems. However, their impacts on terrestrial plants (particularly …

Abstract Microplastics (MPs;< 5 mm) in the biosphere draws public concern about their
potential health impacts. Humans are potentially exposed to MPs via ingestion, inhalation …

The uptake pathways of nanoplastics by edible plants have recently been qualitatively
investigated. There is an urgent need to accurately quantify nanoplastics accumulation in …

The ubiquitous presence of microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) in the environment
is an undeniable and serious concern due to their higher persistence and extensive use in …

Microplastics (MPs) are emerging contaminants in terrestrial systems that cause diverse
impacts on plants. However, little is known about whether MPs especially micro-sized MPs …

Tiny plastic particles considered as emerging contaminants have attracted considerable
interest in the last few years. Mechanical abrasion, photochemical oxidation and biological …

Microplastics (MPs) are creating an emerging threat on the soil ecosystems and are of great
global concern. However, the distribution in soil-plant system, as well as the phytotoxicity …

The pervasive dispersion of micro/nanoplastics in various environmental matrices has
raised concerns regarding their potential intrusion into terrestrial ecosystems and, notably …

Currently, there is a lack of information about the influence of foliar-applied nanoplastics on
crop growth and nutritional quality. To fill the knowledge gap, soil-grown lettuces (Lactuca …

It is widely known that cobalt (Co) stress adversely affects plant growth and biomass
accumulation, posing serious threats to crop production and food security. Nanotechnology …
