The impact of different polymer types of MPs/NPs on plants does not show a clear trend, possibly due to variations in polymer functional groups. However, it is noteworthy that polyethylene terephthalate with phenyl groups exhibits the most significant effect on plant fresh weight, chlorophyll a ...
These HMs are found in soil in decipherable, non-soluble, and moderately soluble forms, with the soluble forms being most harmful since they are quickly captivated by plants through roots before spreading all over the whole plant organs. Metal toxicity is caused through the disruption of cellular...
