Research on nano- and microplastics (NMPs) shows they negatively impact terrestrial plants, affecting germination and growth. A review of 78 studies reveals that early plant growth stages are especially vulnerable to NMP stress, with significant changes in chlorophyll levels and stress responses. These effects occur even at low, environmentally relevant concentrations, highlighting the widespread issue of NMP contamination. The study underscores the importance of translating lab findings to real-world scenarios to mitigate the ecological impact of NMPs.
