Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how microplastics (specifically polystyrene) and heavy metals (like cadmium) affect soil properties and plant growth, particularly focusing on lettuce.
- - Results indicate that increased contamination from these substances significantly decreases important soil nutrients and negatively impacts lettuce seed germination and growth, with varying effects based on the concentrations of contaminants.
- - Interestingly, low levels of microplastics may mitigate some negative impacts of cadmium, while high levels exacerbate them, reflecting a complex relationship between these pollutants and plant health.
