Micro/nanoplastics: a potential threat to crops [PDF]

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

Nanoplastics in Duckweed: Single-Cell Responses and Recovery

ACS Nano
Micro- and nanoplastics have emerged as critical contaminants in aquatic ecosystems due to their small size, persistent nature, and potential for bioaccumulation. Nanoplastics are particularly concerning because they can be widespread in aquatic environments and ingested by aquatic organisms, posing potential risks to ecological health and ...

Microplastics and nanoplastics size distribution in farmed mussel tissues [PDF]

Communications Earth & Environment
Microplastics and nanoplastics are hazardous to ecosystems, wildlife, and through seafood, also for human health. Due to biological, chemical, and physical characteristics, nanoplastics can slip through cell membranes, being even more toxicologically ...

Deep-Learning-Driven High-Fidelity In Vivo Hyperspectral Fluorescence Imaging Under Extreme Photon-Limited Conditions. [PDF]

Adv Sci (Weinh)
Highly overlapping fluorescent signals become distinguishable in photon‐limited living organisms via advanced imaging with intelligent reconstruction. The resulting in vivo hyperspectral imaging capability reveals nanoplastic uptake and circulation in live zebrafish, providing a new approach for studying complex biological and environmental processes ...

Quantifying micro- and nanoplastics

International audienceMacroplastics are the most visible part of pollution, and the largest in mass. Mostly derived from the fragmentation of macroplastics, micro- (1μm-5mm) and nanoplastics (< 1 μm) are more significant in number, and present a ...

Electrospun nanofiber membranes for the control of micro/nanoplastics in the environment

, 2022
In recent years, the environmental pollution caused by micro/nanoplastics (MNPs) has increased. As a result of their negative impact on human health and the environment, MNPs have emerged as new scientific challenges.

Nanoplastics affect the inflammatory cytokine release by primary human monocytes and dendritic cells

Environment International, 2022
So far, the human health impacts of nano- and microplastics are poorly understood. Thus, we investigated whether nanoplastics exposure induces inflammatory processes in primary human monocytes and monocyte-derived dendritic cells.
