SUMMARY
Plastics used in this experiment are from heterogeneous sources. This is because care may not have been taken to equate the level of mixture since sources are heterogeneous. It means that the effect on plants generally would differ. This may be the reason why in some cases higher gram of the plastics like 5g of large microplastics would exert more effect on the plant than 20g of the medium microplastic soil. Therefore, the smaller the plastics are, the easier the diffusion should be. It is possible that the microplastics with the smaller size would have exerted more damage caused on the plant but this was not so in the experiment carried out. The presence of the microplastics in the soil affected the growth of the plant significantly. Although some plastics affected it positively, some others were negatively affected.
