Micro/nanoplastic
pollution
is,
without
a
doubt,
one
of
the
most
acute
and
daunting
environmental
problems
worldwide.
This
chapter,
therefore,
uses
comprehensive
bibliometric
analysis
as
method
to
present
research
status
micro/nanoplastic
pollution.
With
respect
broader
aspects,
first,
data
are
collected
from
Scopus
database.
Therefore,
advanced
methodologies
used
detect
publication
patterns
citation
fronts.
The
results
show
that
number
publications
has
tended
increase
in
recent
years,
them
about
marine
problems.
Second,
according
thematic
available
publications,
focus
should
be
on
areas
such
sources
micro/nanopolluction,
distribution,
ecological
damage
determination,
further
expansion.
Importantly,
few
networks
identified,
they
easy
recognize
relation
concerned.
Finally,
it
becomes
clear
is
global,
not
only
local,
almost
limited
