Key Points

This research aims to explore the impact of nanoplastics on pollen viability in crops and potential risks to pollinators.
Examined the translocation of nanoplastics from soil to crops.
Analyzed pollen viability from affected crops.
Investigated potential implications for pollinators.
Found that nanoplastics negatively affect pollen viability.
Indicated significant risks to pollinator populations due to impaired crop reproduction.

Abstract

Soils are nowadays considered among the major storage sites and sources of nanoplastic (size < 1000 nm) entering the natural environment through sewage sludge, abandoned wastes, agricultural activities, and atmospheric...
