Newly Emerging Airborne Pollutants: Current Knowledge of Health Impact of Micro and Nanoplastics

Plastics are ubiquitous persistent pollutants, forming the most representative material of the Anthropocene. In the environment, they undergo wear and tear (i.e., mechanical fragmentation, and slow photo and thermo-oxidative degradation) forming secondary microplastics (MPs). Further fragmentation o...
