Plastic Pollution in Agriculture as a Threat to Food Security, the Ecosystem, and the Environment: An Overview

Agronomy, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 14(3), P. 548 - 548

Published: March 7, 2024

Plastic products in plant production and protection help farmers increase crop production, enhance food quality, reduce global water use their environmental footprint. Simultaneously, plastic has emerged as a critical ecological issue recent years, its pollution significantly impacted soil, water, plants. Thus, this review examines the multifaceted problems of agriculture risk to security, ecosystem, environment. The study’s objective was present most information on using different agriculture, sources pollution, advantages drawbacks products, strategies for mitigating agriculture. Furthermore, after examining current applications, benefits, adverse effects, risks plants, environment, we addressed requirements technological advancements, regulations, social processes that could contribute our ecosystems. We identified pathways toward more sustainable plastics discussed future research directions.

Ecological and Health Risk Mediated by Micro(nano)plastics Aging Process: Perspectives and Challenges

Environmental Science & Technology, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: March 19, 2025

Aged micro(nano)plastics (MNPs) are normally the ultimate state of plastics in environment after aging. The changes physical and chemical characteristics aged MNPs significantly influence their environmental behavior by releasing additives, forming byproducts, adsorbing contaminants. However, a systematic review is lacking on effects ecological human health regarding increasing but scattered studies results. This Review first summarizes unique methods for quantifying aging degree. Then we focused potential impacts organisms, ecosystems, health, including "Trojan horse" under real conditions. Through combining meta-analysis analytic hierarchy process (AHP) model, demonstrated that, compared to virgin MNPs, would result biomass decrease oxidative stress increase organisms lead total N/P greenhouse gas emissions ecosystems while causing cell apoptosis, antioxidant system reaction, inflammation health. Within framework risk assessment, used quotient (RQ) physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBK) models as examples illustrate importance considering degree data acquisition, model building, formula evaluation. Given risks our urgent call more understand hazards real-world environments.

Aged polylactic acid microplastics with ultraviolet irradiation stunted pakchoi (Brassica chinensis L.) germination and growth with cadmium in hydroponics

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 289, P. 117696 - 117696

Published: Jan. 1, 2025

The presence of biodegradable microplastics (BMPs) alongside toxic metals in soil significantly threatens plant health. Current research mainly focuses on the effects original BMPs. In contrast, specific impacts ultraviolet (UV)-aged BMPs and their interaction with Cadmium (Cd) seed germination growth are unclear. Therefore, this study incubated aged polylactic acid (PLA) MPs through a UV irradiation aging process used an indoor hydroponic experiment to systematically investigate single combined Cd (virgin aged) pakchoi (Brassica chinensis L.) germination, photosynthesis, antioxidant systems, accumulation. results showed that after 21 days (UPLA MPs), PLA formed fractured surface, demonstrating more detrimental than virgin ones. UPLA alone inhibited growth, while promoted these processes. Combined treatment increased oxidative damage reduced root length, chlorophyll, Mg, Mn, Zn content. Under combination BMPs, could effectively alleviate effect pakchoi. unraveled here emphasized MPs, especially trigger adverse agro-systems heavy metals. can provide new perspective reference for ecological risk evaluation pollution agricultural soils.
