Micro- and nano-plastics (MNPs) pollution has become a pressing global environmental issue, with growing concerns regarding its impact on human health. However, evidence the effects of MNPs health remains limited. This paper reviews three routes exposure to MNPs, which include ingestion, inhalation, dermal contact. It further discusses potential translocation in lungs, intestines, skin, analyses homeostasis organ systems, provides an outlook future research priorities for There is that are present tissues or fluids.

Abstract Nanoplastics are emerging pollutants of global concern. Agricultural soil is becoming a primary sink for nanoplastics generated from plastic debris. The uptake and accumulation by crops contaminate the food chain pose unexpected risks to human health. However, whether can enter grains their impact on crop grown in contaminated still unknown. Here, translocation polystyrene (PS‐NPs) crops, including peanut ( Arachis hypogaea L.) rice Oryza sativa investigated. It demonstrated PS‐NPs root at maturation stage. treatment with (250 mg kg −1 ) increases empty‐shell numbers grain 35.45%, thereby decreasing seed‐setting rate 3.02%, also decreases average seed weight peanuts 3.45%. Moreover, exerted adverse effects nutritional quality, such as content mineral elements, amino acids, unsaturated fatty acids. To knowledge, this first report presence plants containing nanoplastics, results highlight yield quality grains.

Nanoplastics (NPs) are increasingly perceived as an emerging threat to terrestrial environments, but the adverse impacts of NPs on soil fauna and mechanisms behind these negative outcomes remain elusive. Here, a risk assessment was conducted model organism (earthworm) from tissue cell. Using palladium-doped polystyrene NPs, we quantitatively measured nanoplastic accumulation in earthworm investigated its toxic effects by combining physiological with RNA-Seq transcriptomic analyses. After 42-day exposure, accumulated up 15.9 143.3 mg kg-1 for low (0.3 kg-1) high (3 dose groups, respectively. retention led decrease antioxidant enzyme activity reactive oxygen species (O2- H2O2), which reduced growth rate 21.3 %-50.8 % caused pathological abnormalities. These were enhanced positively charged NPs. Furthermore, observed that irrespective surface charge, after 2 h gradually internalized coelomocytes (∼0.12 μg per cell) mainly amassed at lysosomes. Those agglomerations stimulated lysosomal membranes lose stability even rupture, resulting impeded autophagy process cellular clearance, eventually coelomocyte death. In comparison negatively nanoplastics, exerted 83 higher cytotoxicity. Our findings provide better understanding how posed harmful have important implications evaluating ecological
