Despite the increasing prevalence of atmospheric nanoplastics (NPs), there remains limited research on their phytotoxicity, foliar absorption, and translocation in plants. In this study, we aimed to fill knowledge gap by investigating physiological effects tomato leaves exposed differently charged NPs absorption NPs. We found that positively caused more pronounced effects, including growth inhibition, increased antioxidant enzyme activity, altered gene expression metabolite composition even significantly changed structure phyllosphere microbial community. Also, exhibited differential translocation, with penetrating into dispersing uniformly within mesophyll cells. Additionally, absorbed were able translocate roots. These findings provide important insights interactions between crop plants demonstrate NPs' accumulation crops could negatively impact agricultural production food safety.

Abstract Microplastics are polymer-based materials with carbon as their main framework. During degradation, they release greenhouse gases such dioxide and methane. Additionally, environmental microplastics can enter plant tissues, triggering oxidative stress in cells, adversely affecting photosynthesis, metabolism, gene expression, other growth parameters. This reduction efficiency sequestering utilizing atmospheric indirectly impacts global cycling, exacerbating the effect. Furthermore, significantly alter soil structure composition of microbial communities, emissions dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, thus promoting gas emissions. Increasing research suggests a mutual reinforcement between microplastic pollution climate warming, where exacerbates rise average temperature leads to resuspension sediments, intensifying environment. article primarily focuses on different ecosystems relationship warming. It summarizes effects marine, terrestrial, ecosystems, well mechanisms by which change affect ecosystem services. By delving into intricate connection emissions, this paper aims raise awareness caused calls for further change, ultimate goal protecting human health. Graphical

Nanoplastics (NPs) are increasingly perceived as an emerging threat to terrestrial environments, but the adverse impacts of NPs on soil fauna and mechanisms behind these negative outcomes remain elusive. Here, a risk assessment was conducted model organism (earthworm) from tissue cell. Using palladium-doped polystyrene NPs, we quantitatively measured nanoplastic accumulation in earthworm investigated its toxic effects by combining physiological with RNA-Seq transcriptomic analyses. After 42-day exposure, accumulated up 15.9 143.3 mg kg-1 for low (0.3 kg-1) high (3 dose groups, respectively. retention led decrease antioxidant enzyme activity reactive oxygen species (O2- H2O2), which reduced growth rate 21.3 %-50.8 % caused pathological abnormalities. These were enhanced positively charged NPs. Furthermore, observed that irrespective surface charge, after 2 h gradually internalized coelomocytes (∼0.12 μg per cell) mainly amassed at lysosomes. Those agglomerations stimulated lysosomal membranes lose stability even rupture, resulting impeded autophagy process cellular clearance, eventually coelomocyte death. In comparison negatively nanoplastics, exerted 83 higher cytotoxicity. Our findings provide better understanding how posed harmful have important implications evaluating ecological

Abstract Urban vegetable gardens are very often a feature of cities that want to offer their citizens more sustainable lifestyle by producing own food products. However, can have significant pollution levels (or hotspots) due specific sources pollution, such as traffic. Among the various pollutants, microplastics (MPs) emerging consensual concern awareness environmental contamination, bioaccumulation potential and human intake, and, consequently unknown health impacts. The present study compared content MPs in lettuce plants cultivated Lisbon urban with those rural area, well samples bought supermarkets. Microplastics were detected all washed leaves, mean ranging from 6.3 ± 6.2 29.4 18.2 MPs/g. Lettuce grown areas high traffic density showed higher levels. Weak positive Spearman’s rank correlations found between concentrations Cu S (determined Particle Induced X-Ray Emission, PIXE), suggesting possible role contribution levels, both elements considered traffic-source tracers. These results contribute shed light on MP contamination vegetables environments, may represent exposure route through dietary corresponding 70% increase annual intake lettuces
