Summary

This study addresses the growing problem of micro- and nanoplastic pollution, emphasizing that nanoplastics (under 1 micrometer) are thought to carry greater health risks because they can more easily enter cells. The absence of adequate analytical tools is identified as a critical barrier to advancing scientific understanding of nanoplastic hazards.

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 ...
