Tiny plastic particles called nanoplastics are everywhere in our environment, but they're so small and blend in so easily with other materials that scientists are still struggling to reliably detect them in water, food, and even our bodies. This review rounds up the latest detection tools, like specialized microscopes and chemical analysis methods, and argues that better, more standardized testing is essential before we can fully understand how these particles might affect human health. Until detection methods improve, it's hard to know just how much nanoplastic exposure we're really dealing with, which matters since these particles may be even better at slipping into our cells and tissues than their larger microplastic
