Summary
This paper discusses nanoplastics as an emerging environmental concern with key knowledge gaps, noting that nanoplastics are believed to be more toxic than larger microplastics because of their ability to penetrate biological barriers. Better analytical methods are needed to understand the true scale of nanoplastic contamination and its health implications.
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 ...
