Pulmonary toxicology assessment of polyethylene terephthalate nanoplastic particles in vitro.

open access: yesEnvironment International, 2022
Nanoplastics are more likely to be suspended in air and pose a risk of respiratory exposure. However, the early health effects of low-dose nanoplastics on the respiratory system, which are expected to reflect the risk of atmospheric nanoplastics, need to

Investigation of the bacterial modified waste PET aggregate VIA Bacillus safensis to enhance the strength properties of mortars [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Polyethylene terephthalates (PET), which are highly resistant to degradation under natural environmental conditions due to their inert, hydrophobic and high molecular weights, are collected in landfills or dispersed as waste.
