Summary

This study examined how nanoplastics penetrate biological barriers at the sub-micrometer scale, posing threats to aquatic productivity through cellular uptake and toxicity pathways. Understanding nanoplastic behavior is critical because their small size enables systemic infiltration into organisms across the food chain, including species consumed by humans.

The increasing global concern over plastic pollution has prompted extensive research into the fragmentation of plastics into smaller particles, particularly at the sub-micrometer scale. While the term nanoplastics (NPs) remains under debate, this study proposes a...
