Summary

This paper discusses the growing concern over micro- and nanoplastics, highlighting that nanoplastics smaller than 1 micrometer are potentially more toxic because they can penetrate biological barriers that stop larger particles. A major challenge in the field is the lack of reliable analytical tools to detect and measure nanoplastics in environmental and biological samples.

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 ...
