Microplastics are emerging persistent pollutants which have attracted increasing attention worldwide. Although microplastics been widely detected in aquatic environments, their presence soil ecosystems remains largely unexplored. Plastic debris accumulates farmland, causing serious environmental problems, may directly affect food substances or indirectly the members each trophic level of chain. This review summarizes origins, migration, and fate agricultural soils discusses interaction between components farmland from perspectives toxicology accumulation deduces impacts on by linking organismal response to an ecological role. The effects ecosystem function also discussed, emphasizing supply products, chain pathways, carbon deposition, nitrogen cycling water conservation, as microplastic pollution will for a long period, posing risk. Finally, several directions future research proposed, is important reducing effect systems.

Microplastics have gained much attention due to their prevalence and abundance in our everyday lives. They been detected household items such as sugar, salt, honey, seafood, tap water, water bottles, food wrapped plastic. Once ingested, these tiny particles can travel internal organs the kidney liver cause adverse effects on cellular level. Here, human embryonic (HEK 293) cells hepatocellular (Hep G2) were used examine potential toxicological of 1 μm polystyrene microplastics (PS-MPs). Exposing PS-MPs caused a major reduction proliferation but no significant decrease cell viability determined by trypan blue assay both lines. Cell remained at least 94% for lines even highest concentration 100 μg/mL PS-MPs. Phase-contrast imaging exposed 72 h showed morphological changes uptake PS-MP particles. Confocal fluorescent microscopy confirmed Additionally, flow cytometry experiments verified that more than 70% internalized after 48 exposure cells. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) studies revealed had increased levels ROS each every time point tested. Furthermore, quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analysis 24 HEK 293 Hep G2 lowered gene expression glycolytic enzyme, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2) catalase (CAT), thus reducing SOD2 CAT detoxify ROS. These suggest ingesting may lead problems metabolism cell-cell interactions. Because exposing results morphological, metabolic, proliferative stress, indicate undesirable health.

Uptake and transport of micro/nanoplastics in terrestrial plants: Detection, mechanisms, and influencing factors

The Science of The Total Environment, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 907, P. 168155 - 168155

Published: Oct. 26, 2023

The pervasive dispersion of micro/nanoplastics in various environmental matrices has raised concerns regarding their potential intrusion into terrestrial ecosystems and, notably, plants. In this comprehensive review, we focus on the interaction between these minute plastic particles and We delve current methodologies available for detecting plant tissues, assess accumulation distribution within roots, stems, leaves, elucidate specific uptake transport mechanisms, including endocytosis, apoplastic transport, crack-entry mode, stomatal entry. Moreover, are complex processes influenced by multiple factors, particle size, surface charge, mechanical properties, physiological characteristics plants, as well external conditions. conclusion, review paper provided valuable insights understanding highlighting complexity multitude factors that can influence them.
