Summary

The abstract for this entry notes growing global concerns about micro- and nanoplastics and the need for better analytical methods. The title is a PNAS correction notice, indicating a database mismatch between title and abstract content.

Micro-nano plastics originating from the prevalent usage of plastics have raised increasingly alarming concerns worldwide. However, there remains a fundamental knowledge gap in nanoplastics because of the lack of effective analytical ...Plastics are now omnipresent in our daily lives. The existence of microplastics (1 µm to 5 mm in length) and possibly even nanoplastics (<1 μm) has recently raised health concerns. In particular, nanoplastics are believed to be more toxic since their ...
