environmental-pollution
Environmental pollution encompasses the introduction of harmful contaminants—including heavy metals, pesticides, air pollutants, and industrial chemicals—into ecosystems where they disrupt biological and ecological processes. For plant science, understanding pollution exposure is critical because plants serve as primary producers that absorb and accumulate contaminants from soil, water, and air, making them both sensitive indicators of environmental health and key vectors through which pollutants enter food chains. Research in this area informs strategies for phytoremediation, crop safety, and the preservation of plant biodiversity in degraded environments.
