Summary

Researchers systematically examined polystyrene nanoplastics of different sizes to define the size ranges at which they can cross biological barriers, providing a more precise definition of nanoplastic dimensions relevant to toxicological assessment.

Polymers

We systematically describe the adverse effects of polystyrene nanoplastics of different sizes penetrating biological barriers, which provides a sufficiently accurate definition of the size range of nanoplastics.
