Intramolecular general base-catalyzed ester hydrolyses by the imidazolyl group
Summary
This study highlights the environmental prevalence of micro- and nanoplastics, noting that nanoplastics smaller than 1 micrometer are thought to pose greater health risks due to their ability to penetrate biological membranes. A major scientific gap exists because current methods cannot reliably detect nanoplastics in environmental or biological samples.
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 ...
