Nanoplastics, even smaller than microplastics, are gaining attention for their ability to easily penetrate cells and tissues in living organisms, potentially causing different and more acute toxicological effects.
Recent studies have found nanoplastics in human blood, liver and lung cells, as well as in reproductive tissues like the placenta and testes, indicating their widespread presence and potential health impacts.
Nanoplastics are created when everyday products degrade, with sources ranging from clothes to food packaging, and are also released by personal care products like scrubs and shampoos.
