Key Points

The aim is to synthesize recent advancements in nanoplastics research across multiple scientific fields.
Analyzed five key research directions in nanoplastics including detection and toxicology.
Examined environmental behavior and potential effects on ecosystems.
Reviewed mechanisms of trophic transfer and bioaccumulation.
Progress in analytical detection methods enhances our ability to monitor nanoplastics.
Understanding surface chemistry reveals effects on bioavailability and toxicity.
Coexposure to nanoplastics and other pollutants amplifies toxic effects.

Implication

This collection synthesizes advances in nanoplastic research, indicating significant environmental concerns.

Abstract

This collection synthesizes advances across five priority research directions: analytical detection, surface chemistry and environmental behaviour, mechanistic toxicology, trophic transfer and bioaccumulation, and coexposure synergistic toxicity.
