Plastic particles in the nanometer range–called nanoplastics–are environmental
contaminants with growing public health concern. As plastic particles are present in water …

Because of the many advantages they offer (strength, low cost, durability, lightweight,
resistance, etc.), plastics are integral part of our daily life with a production constantly rising …

The uncertainty of potential risks associated with micro-and nanoplastics (MNPs) are of
growing public concern. However, the diversity of MNPs in the environment makes a …

Nanoparticles have unique properties that make them useful in biomedicine. However, their
extensive use raises concerns about potential hazards to the body. Therefore, it is crucial to …

Most cell culture models are static, but the cellular microenvironment in the body is dynamic.
Here, we established a microfluidic-based in vitro model of human bronchial epithelial cells …

A substantial part of the plastic produced worldwide ends up in the environment and
degrades into nano-and microplastics. The particles are ubiquitously present in the air and …

On account of environmental concerns, the fate and adverse effects of plastics have
attracted considerable interest in the past few years. Recent studies have indicated the …

Sub-micrometer particles derived from the fragmentation of plastics in the environment can
enter the food chain and reach humans, posing significant health risks. To date, there is a …

Emerging contaminants such as nanoplastics (NPs), as well as manufacturing by-products
such as plasticizers, have gained global attention and concern due to their limited …

Nanoplastics are associated with several risks to the ecology and toxicity to humans.
Nanoplastics are synthetic polymers with dimensions ranging from 1 nm to 1 μm. They are …
