TL;DR: The next steps towards a realistic risk assessment of nanoparticles in plants are to measure ENM uptake rates, the size exclusion limit of the apoplast and to unravel plant physiological features favoring uptake.

TL;DR: The accumulation of AuNPs in the plasmodesma of the phloem complex in root cells clearly suggests ease of transport between cells and translocation throughout the whole plant, inferring the potential for entry and transfer in food webs.

TL;DR: In this article, the effectiveness of current e-waste management in China is analyzed in detail from the government policy, enterprise and public awareness perspective, which is consistent with the status to promote the emergence and development of formal ewaste recycling enterprise.
