Summary
This brief response to a peer comment argues that accurately quantifying the smallest microplastic particles (nanoplastics) is the key challenge for fully understanding the environmental impacts of plastic pollution. If small particles are routinely undercounted, the true scale of contamination and its ecological effects may be significantly underestimated.
