Detecting Polypropylene Microplastics in Crops by shsejan2000 is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This study investigates the accumulation of polypropylene microplastics (PP MPs) in maize and wheat plants exposed to PP for 75 days, utilizing a novel two-step alkaline and wet peroxide oxidation method for extraction. The presence of PP MPs was confirmed using the Nile red staining method, revealing significant accumulation in the roots of wheat and stems of maize. The findings highlight the potential health risks associated with consuming crops contaminated with microplastics.
