Summary

This paper discusses nanoplastics as an emerging environmental concern, highlighting the fundamental knowledge gap created by the lack of effective analytical methods for detecting and studying these tiny particles. The difficulty in measuring nanoplastics means their actual prevalence in the environment and in living organisms may be vastly underestimated.

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 ...
