Summary

This paper addresses the growing concern over micro- and nanoplastics, noting that nanoplastics present unique risks because they can penetrate biological barriers that filter out larger particles. A critical knowledge gap exists because methods for detecting nanoplastics smaller than 1 micrometer remain inadequate.

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 ...
