Nanoplastics as Trojan Horses: Deciphering Complex Connections and Environmental Ramifications: A Review
AI summary Read the abstract
This comprehensive review covers nanoplastic formation, physicochemical properties, detection methods, and ecological impacts, with particular focus on nanoplastics acting as carriers that transport toxic chemicals into organisms and the human food chain. Nanoplastics (1–100 nm) present unique risks compared to larger microplastics because their size enables cellular penetration and their high surface-area-to-volume ratio dramatically increases their capacity to concentrate and deliver adsorbed toxins.
