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 …

The tremendous plastic production and poor post-use management are current and future
sources of environmental and human contamination due to their degradation products …

The increasing presence of micro-and nanoplastics (MNPLs) in the environment, and their
consequent accumulation in trophic niches, could pose a potential health threat to humans …

The universal presence of micro-nanoplastics (MNPLs) and its relative unknown effects on
human health is a concern demanding reliable data to evaluate their safety. As ingestion is …

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 …

Background Together with poor biodegradability and insufficient recycling, the massive
production and use of plastics have led to widespread environmental contamination by nano …

Nanoplastics (NPLs), the presence in the environment of which was considered only “highly
plausible” until recently, have become the focus of environmental and ecotoxicological …

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

The ubiquitous and increasing presence of micro-/nanoplastics (MNPLs) in our environment
demands an urgent hazard assessment, in order to determine the potential risk they pose to …

In recent years, increasing global attention has focused on “microplastics”(MPs) and
“nanoplastics”(NPs) resulting in many studies on the effects of these compounds on …
