Microplastics, tiny plastic particles, are found almost everywhere—in the air, soil, oceans, and even inside our bodies.
These fragments, created by the breakdown of larger plastic items or from synthetic fibers in clothing, are a growing environmental problem.
Even smaller nanoplastics, which are invisible to the naked eye, are even more dangerous.
They can pass through biological barriers and harm vital organs. Scientists recently found nanoplastics in the human brain, raising [...]

These minute particles infiltrate our air, water, and soil, and even make their way into the bodies of animals and humans.
Originating from everyday consumer products and the breakdown of larger plastic materials, they represent an unseen environmental foe with potentially far-reaching impacts on ecosystems and human health.
The hidden dangers of nanoplastics Microplastics, defined as fragments smaller than 5 mm in diameter, are already recognized as a major issue.
However, [...]

Researchers at the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil have developed a novel nanotechnology-based solution for the removal of micro- and nanoplastics from water. An article on the research, which was supported by FAPESP, is published in the journal Micron.
Tiny plastic particles are ubiquitous in the world today and may currently be one of the most important environmental problems, after the climate emergency and the accelerating extinction of species and ecosystems. [...]
