Microplastics and Nano Plastics Effects on Marine Environment

Presentations | English

Microplastics (MPs) with an average size of less than 5 mm, along with nano plastics (NPs) of an average size of fewer than 0.1 μm are the result of huge plastic waste fragmentation or straight environmental emissions. Pollution from micro- and nano plastics is a worldwide paradigm that raises environmental and human health concerns. They may also comprise very harmful chemicals that are implemented in plants and animals when MPs/NPs are used that may lead to higher accumulation of these compounds in food chains. In addition, higher surface area-to-volume ratio, characteristic of MPs/NPs can contribute to their potentially harmful impact as other pollutants, like continuous organic contaminants, can also be bio-accumulated and adsorbed. Thus, MPs/NPs can directly influence on destiny and toxicity of these substances to the environment and organisms.
