Summary

Researchers reviewed how nanobiotechnology approaches — including engineered nanomaterials, nano-enabled filtration, and bioremediation systems — can detect, degrade, and remove micro and nanoplastics from the environment, offering scalable strategies to reduce global plastic pollution and its associated ecosystem and human health risks.

Plastic pollution, particularly from micro and nano-plastics, has become a significant environmental threat, impacting ecosystems and human health due to their persistence, widespread presence, and contributions to an increasing global plastic footprint. Conventional...
