Abstract
In the last year global plastic production reached a roughly estimated 500 million tons, with between 4.8 and 12.7 million
tons of waste plastic ending up in the world’s oceans each year. The smaller size of nanoplastics relative to microplastics means they are increasingly found in consumer products from sea salt (Iniguez et al. 2017) to fish meat (Wang et al. 2020), with the effects on humans being largely unknown.
