Abstract Microplastics (MPs;< 5 mm) in the biosphere draws public concern about their
potential health impacts. Humans are potentially exposed to MPs via ingestion, inhalation …

Microplastics are small plastic particles that come from the degradation of plastics,
ubiquitous in nature and therefore affect both wildlife and humans. They have been detected …

Recent studies have identified increasing levels of nanoplastic pollution in the environment.
Here, we find that anionic nanoplastic contaminants potently precipitate the formation and …

Microplastics are ubiquitous environmental contaminants leading to inevitable human
exposure. Even so, little is known about the effects of microplastics in human health. Thus, in …

Given the global abundance and environmental persistence, exposure of humans and
(aquatic) animals to micro-and nanoplastics is unavoidable. Current evidence indicates that …

Civilization development is associated with the use of plastic. When plastic was introduced
to the market, it was assumed that it was less toxic than glass. Recently, it is known that …

Little is known about the effects of microplastics on terrestrial ecosystems, especially
agricultural soils and terrestrial higher plants. Here, rice seedlings were exposed to two …

Plastics can linger for years in various environmental compartments after being discarded
and exposed to the physical and chemical influences that dismantle their plastic structure to …

Microplastics (MPs) have attracted considerable interest on account of their ubiquitous
presence in the environment in recent years. In particular, nanoplastics (NPs), with smaller …

With the prevalence of nanoplastics in daily life, human exposure is inevitable. However,
whether and how nanoplastics cause neurotoxicity in humans remains obscure. Herein, we …
