Summary

This review applied polymer science principles to comprehensively examine the hazards of micro- and nanoplastics, covering their sources, fate in the environment, and biological effects across marine and terrestrial systems. The polymer-science framing helps explain how plastic particle properties such as size, shape, and surface chemistry govern environmental behavior.
