Summary

Researchers reviewed the sources, environmental behavior, and ecological impact of nanoplastics, highlighting that these particles are more difficult to detect and study than microplastics but may pose greater risks due to their ability to penetrate biological barriers and interact with living cells.

The presence of plastic in abundance in the environment has been confirmed, and scientists are taking measures to assess the accumulation of macroplastic and microplastic in populated and remote locations. Here we review microplastics and nanoplastics with focus on...
