Exploring the continuum between nanoplastics and oligomers

Nature Water 2024

Summary

A study of submicron particles shed from synthetic textiles revealed a continuum between nanoplastics and oligomers, providing insight into their molecular origins and physicochemical properties. Understanding this transition zone is critical because nanoplastic-scale particles and plastic-derived oligomers are the least studied and potentially most biologically active fraction of microplastic pollution.

A study on submicron particles released from synthetic textiles provides insight into their origin and properties.
