Nanoplastics (< 1000 nm) have been evidenced to be universal in a variety of environmental
media. They pose a potential cytotoxicity and health risk due to their tiny size, which allows …

Nanotechnology and more particularly nanotechnology-based products and materials have
provided a huge potential for novel solutions to many of the current challenges society is …

The rise in the global production of plastics has led to severe concerns about the impacts of
plastics in aquatic environments. Although plastic materials degrade over extreme long …

Due to weather and working/operational conditions, plastic degradation produces toxic and
non-biodegradable nano and microplastics (N/M-Ps, ranging from 10 nm to 5 mm), and over …

The environmental presence of micro/nanoplastics (MNPLs) is an environmental and human
health concern. Such MNPLs can result from the physicochemical/biological degradation of …

The ubiquity of microplastics (MPs) is a more and more frequently brought up topic. The fact
that such particles are present in food raises particular concern. Information regarding the …

Abstract Nanoplastics (NPs), small (< 1 μm) polymer particles formed from bulk plastics, are
a potential threat to human health and the environment. Orders of magnitude smaller than …

Since inhalation is a relevant exposure route, studies using appropriate micro/nanoplastic
(MNPLs) models, representative targeted cells, and relevant biomarkers of effect are …

Plastic pollution represents a global environmental issue with relevant associated risks for
ecosystem and human health. Fluorescence-based detection techniques allowed rapid …

The human health risks posed by micro/nanoplastics (MNPLs), as emerging pollutants of
environmental/health concern, need to be urgently addressed as part of a needed hazard …
