Excellent- More about Micro and Nanoplastics in Soil: Threats to Plant-Based Food
This contributed volume provides an overview of microplastics and nanoplastics in soils and their relationship with growing plants, including implications for trophic transmission, food safety, and security. It also covers topics such as trophic transfer and remediation of MPs and NPs in soil samples.

This comprehensive volume provides a state-of-the-art overview of microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) in soils and their relationship with growing plants. Through chapters contributed by a diverse range of researchers, the book offers readers a comprehensive understanding of MP and NP adsorption, uptake, and effects, as well as their implications for trophic transmission, food safety, and security. Additionally, cutting-edge topics such as trophic transfer and remediation of MPs and NPs in soil samples are addressed.
The book begins with a primer on terrestrial MPs and NPs, their effects on terrestrial plants, and how these contaminants affect human populations. From there, the volume is divided into four sections that address both the problems caused by MPs and NPs in soil and potential remediation solutions.
The first section deals with the mechanics of how MPs and NPs pollute soils and how toxic chemicals affect the soil profile and its flora, fauna, and microbes. The second section discusses trophic transfer of MPs and NPs from roots to shoots, shoots to leaves, and then to fruits. The third section details the threats to humans that are present as a result of MPs and NPs in soils. The fourth and last section covers bioremediation techniques that can be employed to reclaim polluted soils.
In conclusion, this comprehensive volume is a valuable resource for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners interested in understanding the impact of MPs and NPs on soils and their relationship with growing plants. It provides a thorough examination of the current state of knowledge on these contaminants, their effects, and potential remediation strategies, and will undoubtedly contribute to the development of effective solutions to address this growing environmental concern.
