Plastic waste has been produced at a rapidly growing rate over the past several decades.
The environmental impacts of plastic waste on marine and terrestrial ecosystems have been …

The potential use of nanomaterials in medicine offers opportunities for novel therapeutic
approaches to treating complex disorders. For that reason, a new branch of science, named …

Microplastics (MPs), a new and increasing environmental pollutant, can cause ongoing
damage to organisms. Although recent studies have revealed mechanisms of action for …

Micro-and nano-plastics (MPs and NPs) released from plastics in the environment can enter
the food chain and target the human intestine. However, knowledge about the effects of …

The ubiquitous presence of nanoplastics (NPLs) in the environment is considered of great
health concern. Due to their size, NPLs can cross both the intestinal and pulmonary barriers …

Plastic nanoparticles are widely spread in the biosphere, but health risk associated with their
effect on the human organism has not yet been assessed. The purpose of this study was to …

Nanoplastics, one component of plastic pollution, can enter human bodies via inhalation
and thus threaten human health. However, the knowledge about the uptake and exocytosis …

Microplastics (MPs) acted as environmental emerging pollutants have been widely
distributed in natural waters. Due to their small particle size and large specific surface area …

Microplastics and nanoplastics (MNPs) are ubiquitous environmental contaminants. Their
prevalence, persistence, and increasing industrial production have led to questions about …

Global plastic production has increased exponentially in recent decades, and a significant
part of it persists in the environment, where it degrades into microplastics and nanoplastics …
