Summary
This perspective examines the toxicokinetics of nanoscale plastic debris (particles smaller than 1 micrometer) in organisms, reviewing how fragmentation of environmental plastic waste generates nanoplastics and discussing uptake, distribution, metabolism, and elimination pathways relevant to ecological risk assessment.
Fragmentation of plastic waste in the environment can lead to the formation of nanoscale plastic debris (NPD) of size < 1 μm.
