Research progress of nanoplastics in freshwater [PDF]
Science of The Total Environment, 2021 With the mass production and use of plastic products, which leads to their continuous entry into the water environment, the problem of environmental pollution has been paid more and more attention by scholars from different countries. In recent years, a large number of studies have focused on microplastics, but few on nanoplastics (NPs).

A new occupational and environmental hazard – nanoplastic
Medycyna Pracy, 2020 Problems arising from the accumulation of plastic waste in the environment have become global. Appeals to stop the usage of disposable drinking straws or plastic cutlery did not come out without reason – 320 million tons of plastic products are produced ...

Atmospheric microplastic and nanoplastic: The toxicological paradigm on the cellular system
Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2023 The increasing demand for plastic in our daily lives has led to global plastic pollution. The improper disposal of plastic has resulted in a massive amount of atmospheric microplastics (MPs), which has further resulted in the production of atmospheric ...

Plants oxidative response to nanoplastic
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Pollution of the environment with plastic is an important concern of the modern world. It is estimated that annually over 350 million tonnes of this material are produced, wherein, despite the recycling methods, a significant part is deposited in the environment. The plastic has been detected in the industrial areas, as well as farmlands and gardens in

From salinity to nanoplastics: redefining safe yield in strip-island aquifers under emerging contaminant threats [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System SciencesNanoplastic contamination is emerging as a significant threat to groundwater security on small islands, where freshwater lenses serve as primary water supplies. Existing groundwater management frameworks are largely based on salinity intrusion and do not

Impact of Micro- and Nanoplastics on Mitochondria
Metabolites, 2022 Mitochondria are highly dynamic cellular organelles that perform crucial functions such as respiration, energy production, metabolism, and cell fate decisions. Mitochondrial damage and dysfunction critically lead to the pathogenesis of various diseases including cancer, diabetes, and neurodegenerative and cardiovascular disorders.
