Quantification of micro- and nanoplastics [PDF]
Quantitative analysis of micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs), providing precise, accurate, and reliable data, is necessary to make meaningful contributions to gaining a comprehensive understanding of MNPs fate in the environment.

A reliable procedure to obtain environmentally relevant nanoplastics proxies
, 2021 International audienceMore environmentally relevant nanoplastic models are urgently needed. Models of environmental plastics are used to develop analytical methods to get an accurate picture of how nanoplastics behave in natural systems, and to generate ...

Preconcentration of nanoplastics using micro-electromembrane extraction across free liquid membranes
Advances in Sample PreparationAsymmetric micro-electromembrane extraction (µ-EME) based on a free liquid membrane has been evaluated for the preconcentration of nanoplastics. A conical unit (200 µL micropipette tip) enabled the simple and reproducible formation of the required three ...

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Nanoplastics (NPs) are emerging environmental contaminants capable of crossing biological barriers, accumulating in tissues, and disrupting physiological pathways. The male reproductive system is particularly vulnerable during the postnatal period, a developmental window characterized by intense testicular differentiation and epididymal ...

Micro- and nanoplastics in neurological dysfunction
Trends in NeurosciencesPlastic particles can interfere with the nervous system and are increasingly recognised as a global health concern. This review encompasses recent findings on the impact of plastic particles on brain health, including studies in humans, rodents, nematodes, and zebrafish. We discuss how plastics can impact cellular metabolism, affect developmental brain

Impact of Environmental Microparticles on Insect Olfaction
Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Terrestrial insects underpin key ecosystem services, including pollination, herbivory regulation, decomposition, nutrient cycling, and disease control. These functions depend on chemical communication that guides insects to food, mates, hosts, shelters, and oviposition sites while helping them avoid threats.

Efficient removal of nanoplastics from synthetic wastewater using electrocoagulation [PDF]
, 2023 Nanoplastics are emerging contaminants that have now transformed into a worldwide environmental concern. It is a lesser-known fact that several emerging contaminants, such as bisphenol and perfluoro alkylates adsorbing on micro and nanoplastics, could ...
