Addressing the Risks of Nanoscale Polymers: Exposure, Behavior, and Toxicity

Creator:

Stine, Jared

Abstract:

Nanoscale polymers (including nanoplastics) are widely present through commerce and make their way into the environment. As the improper disposal of plastic waste leads to continued accumulation and degradation of plastic pollution, the presence of plastic particles less than 1 micron (μm) in size (nanoplastics) will increase. Heightened concern over...
