Summary

This study discusses the growing prevalence of micro- and nanoplastics, noting that nanoplastics (under 1 micrometer) present heightened health risks because they can enter tissues and cross barriers that stop larger microplastics. The field faces a significant limitation from inadequate analytical tools for detecting nanoscale plastics.

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 ...
