Effects of polystyrene nanoplastics with different functional groups on the accumulation and toxicity of Pb on dandelion

Zhengguo Song et al.

Summary: In this study, the effects of three types of nanoparticles (PS, CPS, and APS) on the accumulation and toxicity of lead (Pb) in dandelion were investigated. Results showed that the presence of these nanoparticles caused cell damage, inhibited Rubisco and root activities, and hindered nutrient uptake and photosynthesis. APS had a greater inhibitory effect on dandelion biomass compared to PS and CPS. APS was also more likely to enter dandelion roots. The presence of Pb increased the toxicity of PS and CPS, but not APS, on dandelion. Furthermore, PS and CPS reduced Pb uptake, while APS slightly inhibited Pb accumulation but aggravated its toxicity in dandelion.

Uptake and translocation of nano/microplastics by rice seedlings: Evidence from a hydroponic experiment

Yingying Liu et al.

Summary: The study found that both 80 nm and 1 μm PS microspheres were detected in the roots, stems, and leaves of rice seedlings, mainly aggregating on cell walls and in the intercellular regions. This suggests that rice seedlings can accumulate nano/microplastics in their roots and translocate them to aboveground tissues, potentially transferring them to higher trophic levels through the food chain.

Carmelina Spano et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of polystyrene nanoplastics (PSNPs) on rice seedlings. The results showed that these nanoparticles were absorbed by the roots and transported to the shoots, affecting rice germination, growth, and root cell structure, and inducing cytogenetic abnormalities. The study found that these effects may be caused not only by the direct action of the nanoparticles, but also by changes in the production/diffusion of reactive oxygen species (ROS) at the tissue/cellular level.

Summary: Micro and nanoplastics are new generation contaminants of global concern. By conducting a hydroponic experiment on soybean seedlings, this study found that polystyrene nanoplastics (PS-NPs) negatively affected the growth parameters of soybean seedlings and caused oxidative stress. Additionally, the levels of antioxidant enzymes and proline content in roots and leaves of soybean were enhanced, and stress-related genes were up-regulated in a tissue specific manner in response to PS-NPs. These findings suggest that PS-NPs have adverse effects on soybean seedlings, which are important for the risk assessment of nanoplastics on crop production and environmental safety.

Effect of polystyrene on di-butyl phthalate (DBP) bioavailability and DBP-induced phytotoxicity in lettuce

Summary: This study investigated the toxic effects of small and large polystyrene microplastics on lettuce under di-butyl phthalate stress. The results showed that microplastics, especially in combination with DBP, could decrease lettuce biomass, induce oxidative stress, and exacerbate subcellular damage. Additionally, PS adhered to root surfaces and caused physical blockage of root pores, leading to cell membrane and wall damage. Molecular docking revealed interactions between DBP and monobutyl phthalate with superoxide dismutase residues. Moreover, there was no statistical difference in phytotoxicity between nano- and microplastics on lettuce, with PS aggravating DBP-induced phytotoxicity.

Summary: Microplastics can decrease the uptake of organic pollutants by soybean plants, with micron-size MPs showing a stronger inhibition than nano-size MPs. The combined exposure of micron-size MPs and phenanthrene has higher toxicity to soybean plants compared to nano-size MPs and phenanthrene, with the largest MPs having the highest toxicity. The genotoxic and oxidative damage induced by micron-size MPs lead to decreased activity of soybean roots, resulting in lower uptake of phenanthrene.
