This study investigates how exposure to lead carbonate (PbCO3) in bulk and nano forms affects spinach plants’ growth, photosynthesis, and metabolic pathways, revealing that PbCO3 and Pb2+ have size- and dose-dependent inhibitory effects, with Pb2+ and nano-PbCO3 posing a higher non-carcinogenic health risk to children than adults.
