Nanoplastic

Depending on the definition used, nanoplastics are less than 1 μm (i.e. 1000 nm) or less than 100 nm in size. Speculations over nanoplastics in the environment range from it being a temporary byproduct during the fragmentation of microplastics to it being an invisible environmental threat at potentially high and continuously rising concentrations. Quotes The same properties that make plastics so versatile make these materials difficult or impossible for nature to assimilate, Jenna Jambeck in: Rolling Stone quotes engineering professor in story about ocean plastics, uga.edu There is quite a lot of research on microplastics because they are easier to detect, you just need a microscope. Nanoplastics are much smaller so you need special techniques to detect them, Eric Lichtfouse at: Nanoplastik, Lebih Bahaya dari Makroplastik, republika.id See also Plastics Materials Nature External links Category:Ecotoxicology Category:Pollution
