Micro- and Nanoplastics: Impact on Wildlife and Biodiversity

Sustainable development goals series 2025
Sumanta Bhattacharya

Summary

Researchers reviewed the broad threat that micro- and nanoplastics pose to wildlife and biodiversity, noting that particles smaller than 1 mm are especially dangerous because they can infiltrate tissues and food chains in ways larger plastic debris cannot.

Plastics pose a severe challenge to achieving sustainability due to their pernicious impacts on the environment, ecosystem, and biodiversity. The plastic particles having diameters within the range of 1 m to 1 nm exhibit a more severe threat, as these cannot be...
