Ecotoxicological Impacts of Micro(Nano)plastics in the Environment: Biotic and Abiotic Interactions

Summary

This editorial or overview paper addresses the ecotoxicological impacts of micro- and nanoplastics across both biotic (organisms) and abiotic (physical and chemical) dimensions, framing the problem as a multifaceted challenge involving environmental contamination, ecosystem health, and potential human health risks. It underscores the need for integrated approaches across disciplines and stakeholder groups to fully understand and manage plastic pollution. The work contributes a broad conceptual framing for ongoing research into microplastic hazards.
