Nanoplastics as a Vehicle for Environmental Pollutants: A Hazard for Human Health
2024
Carina Ladeira,
José Cabêda
Summary
This review examines nanoplastics as environmental vectors for chemical pollutants, discussing how their high surface-area-to-volume ratio enables adsorption of heavy metals, pesticides, and persistent organic pollutants. The authors assess the evidence for nanoplastic-facilitated delivery of these co-contaminants to human tissues and call for dedicated nanoplastic toxicology studies.
Plastic waste degrades into small particles, which depending on their size can be classified as microplastics (0 [...]
