Plastic pollution, particularly in the form of microplastics and nanoplastics, has emerged as a significant environmental concern with far-reaching implications. This chapter delves into origins, characteristics, effects, identification methods removal these micro/nano plastic particles that are prevailing our ecosystems. The properties plastics make them versatile widely used materials commercial world, but this led to their extensive production disposal, contributing formation accumulation more nanoplastics various natural habitats. These smaller fragments, categorized primary secondary plastic, pose greater threat environment due ability carry harmful substances disrupt Collaborative efforts among researchers, policymakers, industries essential developing effective strategies for detecting, mitigating, preventing further pollution.
