A Nanoplastic Sampling and Enrichment Approach by Continuous Flow Centrifugation
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2020 Substantial efforts have been undertaken to isolate and characterize plastic contaminants in different sample matrices in the last years as the ubiquitous presence of particulate plastic in the environment has become evident.

Nanoplastic incorporation into an organismal skeleton
Scientific Reports, 2022 Studies on the effects of global marine plastic pollution have largely focused on physiological responses of few organism groups (e.g., corals, fishes).

Micro- and nanoplastic exposure, immune cell activation, and lung function in young adults [PDF]
Microplastics and NanoplasticsRationale Micro- and nanoplastics, an emerging public health concern, enter the human body through inhalation and ingestion. The potential for this exposure to induce a pro-inflammatory immune response or impair lung function remains unknown.

Role of Nanoplastics in Decreasing the Intestinal Microbiome Ratio: A Review of the Scope of Polystyrene [PDF]
ToxicsMicro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) are increasingly recognized as emerging intestinal toxicants. This scoping review maps and integrates evidence from 56 studies (47 primary and 11 review articles, 2000–mid-2025) on how nanoplastics, particularly ≤100 nm ...

Exposure to a nanoplastic-enriched diet for fourteen days increases microglial immunoreactivity in the zebrafish telencephalon [PDF]
Frontiers in Molecular NeuroscienceMicroscopic plastic particles (micro- and nanoplastics) are an emerging environmental contaminant detected in air, soil, water, and human food supplies.

Micro/nanoplastics: a potential threat to crops
Vegetable Research, 2023 The distribution of micro/nanoplastics in soil and water environments is a potential agricultural threat. Since micro/nanoplastics are a new and highly concerning contaminant, in recent years research on micro/nanoplastics has rapidly increased. Here, we

Kinetics of polystyrene nanoplastic deposition on SiO and AlO surfaces: Ionic strength effects
Science Progress, 2023 Nanoplastic pollution is an emerging environmental threat to the critical zone. The transport of nanoplastic particles in subsurface environments can be determined mainly by soil minerals because they provide surfaces that interact with nanoplastic ...

Imaging and identification of single nanoplastic particles and agglomerates
Scientific Reports, 2023 Pollution by nanoplastic is a growing environmental and health concern. Currently the extent of nanoplastic in the environment can only be cumbersomely and indirectly estimated but not measured. To be able to quantify the extent of the problem, detection
