Microplastics alter cadmium toxicity in crops
✦AI Summary
A study from Hainan University highlights how microplastics interact with cadmium in agricultural soil to negatively impact crop growth and food safety. The research shows that co-exposure to these contaminants significantly reduces biomass and photosynthetic performance in major crops.
Mechanisms of MPs and Cd effects on plant growth, photosynthetic performance, Cd uptake and translocation in crop systems, and plant defensive actions against single and co-exposure stresses.
