Overview

Systematic review examines risks of micro and nanoplastics, highlighting detection and mitigation strategies.

Key Points

  • The review aims to analyze the environmental and biological impacts of micro and nanoplastics (MNPs) and assess current solutions.
  • Systematic analysis of MNP sources, classification, and release pathways.
  • Exploration of detection and removal strategies, including advanced filtration and biological remediation.
  • Review of contemporary research on ecotoxicological risks and emerging solutions.
  • MNP exposure is associated with cytotoxicity, metabolic changes, and immunological reactions.
  • Conventional detection techniques often underestimate environmental risks by failing to capture the smallest toxic nanoplastics.
  • There is a need for highly sensitive detection protocols and long-term ecotoxicological modeling.
