Summary
This paper discusses micro- and nanoplastic pollution and the particular concern over nanoplastics, which can penetrate biological barriers due to their small size. A major obstacle to progress is the lack of reliable tools to detect and measure nanoplastic particles in the environment.
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 ...
