Summary

Researchers exposed Swiss albino mice to polystyrene micro- and nanoplastics and compared the stress and liver toxicity responses, finding that both sizes elevated cortisol levels and caused hepatotoxic damage, with nanoplastics generally producing more pronounced physiological disruption than microplastics.

Plastic pollution is a global challenge and has emerged as a concerning environmental and public health issue. While the harmful effects of macro plastics are well-known, recent attention has shifted towards smaller microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastic (NPs), which...
