Summary

This paper examines the environmental prevalence of micro- and nanoplastics, with special focus on nanoplastics that are small enough to cross biological barriers. The authors highlight that a fundamental knowledge gap remains because current analytical methods cannot reliably detect or quantify nanoplastics.

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 ...
