“…According to research by Orb Media on tap water samples from around the world, data show that a large proportion of drinking water is contaminated with microplastics, and the amount of microplastics ingested per person each year is 4,000 particles. Moreover, nanoplastic particles have been found in bottled drinking water, plastic, and glass bottles [96]. After being taken into the body, the nanoplastic particles are distributed into various tissues (testicles, liver, blood, gills, and intestines).…”

The consequence of the unstoppable growth of plastic production and inadequate waste disposal is plastic pollution, which is becoming a global challenge. Large quantities of discarded plastics in the environment are under the direct influence of biotic and abiotic factors, leading to the fragmentation of particles and the formation of tiny particles of plastics or nanoplastics. Nanoplastics are a fast-growing pollutant that, due to ubiquity in the environment, causes great public concern. It also attracts the attention of scientists in detecting harmful effects on health and the environment. This review is aimed at summarizing all adverse effects of nanoplastics on human health and the environment. Due to their toxic effects, it is necessary to reduce the disposal of plastics in the environment, develop or improve existing methods, and implement legislation that would reduce the release of nanoplastics into the environment. A possible ban or reasonable regulation of nanoplastics in cosmetics or food can be expected only after a critical mass of scientific objections has been created.

“…Moreover, remarkable progress has been made in terms of nanoplastic identification and quantification. 6 For example, thermal desorption–gas chromatography mass spectrometry 7 and dynamic light scattering following extraction of the particles from product matrices 8 can be used for the identification and quantification of nanoplastics in products. Thus, intentionally added plastic particles in the nanorange (1–100 nm) could be reintroduced into the restriction proposal.…”

“…2). Although there are several kinds of pollutants, nano-plastic is considered a serious source for human health as reported by many articles (e.g., He et al 2021;Cárdenas-Alcaide et al 2022;Huang et al 2022;Lai et al 2022;Zhou et al 2023). Several risks to the ecology and toxicity to humans have been confirmed and associated with nano-plastics (Lai et al 2022), which their adverse effects on human health could be taken place through uptake and translocation pathways (Fig.…”

NVIRONMENTAL pollution is a great modern challenge. This pollution is generated from different sources and reaches a variety of environmental compartments including soil, water, plants, air, animals, and humans. Among sources of pollution, nanopollution has become an emerging global issue. Nanopollution is a result of the intensive processing and use of nanomaterials and/or nanoparticles in the soil, water, plant, air, and food chain systems. Ultimately, nanopollutants may reach humans and influence their health. Health problems reported after human exposure to nanopollutants include toxicity to the kidney, brain, spleen, and heart. Approaches to remediate soil nanopollution will be discussed in this review, which focuses on soil nanopollution in the frame of soil-human health nexus (SHHN). A close relationship between soil nanopollution and the SHHN has been confirmed by several studies. This interaction depends on several factors related to the pollutants, their concertation, and agro-environmental conditions. The interaction between soil nanopollutants and human health is of great concern and needs more study.
