Plastics are becoming common environmental pollutants. Plants behave as access routes for plastics in the trophic chain since they can adsorb particles through their roots or on surfaces. In this review, various methods sample preparation and analytical plastic isolation identification from vegetables, fruits, seedlings were discussed. The effects that have them also addressed. All of studies offer convincing proof micro nano already exist fruits easily enter into a variety effects. Since most been conducted under strictly controlled conditions using standard plastics, more tests environmentally realistic required to ensure literature applicable. Also, vegetables need be tested identify number currently there that, when consumed, could harm human health.

Microplastics in soils: A comparative review on extraction, identification and quantification methods

Journal of Environmental Management, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 377, С. 124556 - 124556

Microplastics (MPs) have been continuously accumulating in soil, posing significant environmental concerns due to their potential toxicity and role as pollutant vectors. Effective monitoring of MPs soils requires appropriate methods for extraction, identification quantification. This comparative review systematically examined various used MP analysis from solid matrix environments, highlighting the advantages disadvantages each technique. Soils are heterogeneous complex matrices, which can interact differently with MPs, rendering separation a challenge. Key challenges include interactions between soil organic matter detection limitations smaller size interfere accurate extraction. Specialized techniques devices required precise Digestion be effective removing matter, although harsh digestion degrade MPs. To improve liability analysis, it is critical minimize steps that may reduce accuracy such filtration, inappropriate sample size. Conversely, adjusting or combining enhance precision analysis. offers forward-looking perspective by advocating extraction approaches, thus providing more accurate, reproducible holistic framework soils. These insights anticipated guide future research promote standardized protocols efforts.
