The human health impact of exposure to micro (MP) and nanoplastics (NP) from food
remains unknown. There are several gaps in knowledge that prevent a complete risk …

Although we are witnesses of an increase in the number of studies examining the
exposure/effects of microplastics (MPs) on different organisms, there are many unknowns …

Over the past decades, the plastic production has been dramatically increased. Indeed, a
category of small plastic particles mainly with the shapes of fragments, fibers, or spheres …

Plastic is a synthetic or semisynthetic polymer with numerous physicochemical properties,
and its fragmentation can give rise to microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs). These …

Microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) are emergent pollutants, which have sparked
widespread concern. They can infiltrate the body via ingestion, inhalation, and cutaneous …

International surveys and scientific research have confirmed the presence of microplastics in
the environment. The buildup of nanoplastics resulting from further deterioration and …

Highlights•Fishing and aquaculture face the effects of microplastic accumulation in water
bodies.•Evidence of microplastics presence in marine biota and trophic transfer is …

Microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs), collectively termed “Micro (nano) plastics
[MNPs]” in the special issue, compose the vast majority of plastic contaminants. MPs have …

Abstract Purpose of Review Microplastics in the environment enter the human body through
diet, drinking water, and air inhalation. The widespread detection of microplastics in several …

Microplastics contamination is widespread in the environment leading to the exposure of
both humans and other biota. While most studies overemphasize direct toxicity of …
