Summary

Researchers investigated micro- and nano-plastics as emerging global pollutants, noting a critical knowledge gap in nanoplastics research due to insufficient analytical methods, and highlighting that nanoplastics pose greater toxicity concerns than microplastics because of their ability to penetrate biological systems more readily.

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 ...
