This contributed volume gives a state-of-the-art overview of
microplastics and nanoplastics (MPs and NPs) in soils and their
relationship with growing plants. Through chapters contributed by a
wide variety of researchers, the book offers readers an
understanding of MP and NP adsorption, uptake, and effects, as well
as implications for trophic transmission, food safety, and
security. Cutting-edge topics such as trophic transfer and
remediation of MPs and NPs in soil samples are also 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 split into four sections
which address both 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 of the book discusses trophic transfer of MPs and
NPs from roots to shoot, shoot 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 gives
covers bioremediation techniques that can be employed in order to
reclaim polluted soils.
