Translational One Health Strategies for Nanoplastic Exposure Mitigation

2026
P. Praveen Kumar, K. C. Raja Shree

Summary

This review paper looks at strategies to reduce our exposure to nanoplastics—tiny plastic particles small enough to slip through our body's natural barriers and build up in our organs over time. Rather than presenting new experiments, it pulls together ideas from environmental science, technology, and public health to propose practical ways to track and cut down nanoplastic pollution before it reaches us. The takeaway: tackling this contamination requires coordinated action across multiple sectors, since these particles move easily between our environment, food, water, and bodies.

This chapter per the authors addresses translational strategies for mitigating nanoplastic exposure across environmental, technological, economic, and public health domains within a One Health framework. Nanoplastics are evaluated as mobile particulate contaminants capable of crossing biological barriers, accumulating across environmental compartments, and contributing to chronic ecological and physiological exposure burdens. The chapter analyzes mitigation pathways involving exposure surveillance, biotechnology-assisted reduction systems, computational exposure forecasting, and implementation-oriented environmental management models. Integration of exposure analytics, environmental management, and implementation economics contributes operational perspectives for reducing nanoplastic-associated ecological and health burdens across interconnected environments emphasizing integrated governance and resilience-based environmental action for sustainability goals.
