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

Due to their unique characteristics, nanoparticles are increasingly used in agricultural
production through foliage spraying and soil application. The use of nanoparticles can …

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

Microplastic (MPs) pollution has become a global environmental concern with significant
impacts on ecosystems and human health. Although MPs have been widely detected 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 …

Increasing production of synthetic plastics and poor management of plastic wastes have
dramatically increased the amount of plastics in the environment. In 2014, at the first United …

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 …

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 …
