Counting What Counts: Governing Nanoplastics on Their Own Terms

Summary

This paper looks at nanoplastics, tiny plastic particles even smaller than microplastics, and argues that workplaces and indoor spaces (like homes and offices) may be hotspots for breathing them in, since these ultra-small particles can easily travel through the air. This matters because inhalation may be an overlooked way these particles enter our bodies, and understanding this risk is a key step toward figuring out how to regulate and reduce our exposure to them.
