Summary

This paper discusses nanoplastics as an emerging environmental concern with significant knowledge gaps due to the lack of effective analytical methods for detecting and characterizing particles at the nanoscale. Better tools for identifying and measuring nanoplastics are urgently needed to assess their true prevalence and health risks.

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 ...
