The invisible world of nanoplastics: bibliometric analysis on nanoplastics and study of their adsorption capacity [PDF]

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências
The increasing presence of nanoplastics in the environment raises concerns about their toxic effects on human health and ecosystems, including bioaccumulation, pollution, and unknown impacts on the food chain and marine organisms.

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).

Presence of nanoplastics in rural and remote surface waters

Environmental Research Letters, 2022
It is now established that microplastics are a pervasive presence in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. The same is assumed to be true for nanoplastics but data are lacking due to technical difficulties associated with sample analysis. Here, we measured

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

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.
