Summary

This paper examines micro- and nanoplastic pollution, emphasizing that nanoplastics pose particular concern due to their ability to breach biological barriers that stop larger particles. The authors highlight a knowledge gap driven by the absence of reliable methods to detect and quantify nanoplastics in complex samples.

Models

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 ...
