Abstract
Microplastics and nanoplastics are addressed as emerging pollutants hindering plant and soil health, by and large. Accumulation, toxicity, and future impact necessitate dire attention in the present century owing to global health contexts. Plastic accumulation in plants not only affects plant growth and yield but can alter soil microbial community dynamics through its chemical interactions. Hence plant, soil and planet health need to be critically studied for creating awareness regarding environmental impacts. Further, the serious consequences that can affect agricultural production and productivity are summarized for impending repercussions and reverberations in agroecotoxicology. Potential limitations that can be explicitly considered in augmenting plant growth promotion and associated degradation strategies are foreseen to have large benefits for the farming community. Ecosystem dynamics about heavy metal toxicity, nano-pollution, and soil fertility management are discussed for holistic environmental management of Plastics upon plant and soil health. Future perspectives are concerned with interdisciplinary research prospects and stringent legal practices in the agricultural realm are accounted for possible mitigating strategies. Hence, the present review focusses in holistic management of MNPs agroecotoxicology for regulatory policies, bioremediation potentials, awareness and education. Environmental sustainability and pollution management will aid in potent waste management and circular economy prospects. A critical assessment incorporating global health perspectives affected by the holistic damage impeded by plastics is corroborated for holistic environmental impact analysis. The present review compiles the environmental microbiology perspectives on the effective management of plastics and associated deleterious outcomes. The review addresses the key questions enlisted: (1) How MNPs account for everlasting impacts in the environment?. (2) What are the consequences of MNPs upon plant probiotics and associated soil community microbial dynamics?. (3) What is the future of agro-ecotoxicology of MNPs?. (4) What are the implications of MNPs in augmenting plant growth through nutrient and biogeochemical cycling?. (5) How waste management of MNPs can enrich global policies, awareness and circular economy?.
期刊介绍：
Environmental Geochemistry and Health publishes original research papers and review papers across the broad field of environmental geochemistry. Environmental geochemistry and health establishes and explains links between the natural or disturbed chemical composition of the earth’s surface and the health of plants, animals and people.
Beneficial elements regulate or promote enzymatic and hormonal activity whereas other elements may be toxic. Bedrock geochemistry controls the composition of soil and hence that of water and vegetation. Environmental issues, such as pollution, arising from the extraction and use of mineral resources, are discussed. The effects of contaminants introduced into the earth’s geochemical systems are examined. Geochemical surveys of soil, water and plants show how major and trace elements are distributed geographically. Associated epidemiological studies reveal the possibility of causal links between the natural or disturbed geochemical environment and disease. Experimental research illuminates the nature or consequences of natural or disturbed geochemical processes.
The journal particularly welcomes novel research linking environmental geochemistry and health issues on such topics as: heavy metals (including mercury), persistent organic pollutants (POPs), and mixed chemicals emitted through human activities, such as uncontrolled recycling of electronic-waste; waste recycling; surface-atmospheric interaction processes (natural and anthropogenic emissions, vertical transport, deposition, and physical-chemical interaction) of gases and aerosols; phytoremediation/restoration of contaminated sites; food contamination and safety; environmental effects of medicines; effects and toxicity of mixed pollutants; speciation of heavy metals/metalloids; effects of mining; disturbed geochemistry from human behavior, natural or man-made hazards; particle and nanoparticle toxicology; risk and the vulnerability of populations, etc.
