Summary

Researchers review the growing crisis of plastic waste and the formation of microplastics and nanoplastics through environmental fragmentation, assessing current and emerging management strategies — including chemical recycling and advanced filtration — for reducing the spread of plastic particles across global ecosystems.

Plastic waste has become a big problem, affecting our environment and our health. Microplastics and nanoplastics are tiny pieces of plastic that come from bigger plastic items breaking down. These small particles have spread all over the planet, in the oceans and on...
