nanoplastics

Tiny plastic particles that are less than 100 nanometers in size. They can originate from the breakdown of larger plastic debris or be manufactured intentionally for use in various products, posing environmental and health risks due to their ability to be ingested by marine life and potentially enter the human food chain. Nanoplastics are particularly concerning for environmental scientists, public health officials, and policymakers focused on pollution and food safety.
