Sub-Saharan Africa faces increasing levels of plastic production and importation, unregulated usage, inadequate waste management systems. This region’s harsh conditions often lead to breaking down into microplastics nanoplastics. review explores the abundance micro/nanoplastics across different environmental mediums, such as surface waters, sediments, aquatic organisms, in sub-Saharan African countries. It also highlights knowledge gaps concerning micro/nanoplastics. The effects plastics on food production, water quality, health, environment are discussed. Strategies address challenges pollution proposed. Finally, concludes with future perspectives for addressing ongoing Africa. materials this study were sourced from published articles Scopus, Google Scholar, ResearchGate, additional platforms, including reports various press releases, using keywords waste, micro/nano-plastic, Africa, toxicity, circular economy. Articles initially screened by reviewing abstracts, followed a thorough reading full papers identify relevant studies. Key information was extracted these selected incorporated review.
