| Micro and nanoplastics are an emerging concern worldwide. Nanoplastics, usually categorized as plastic particles smaller than 1 micron, are of particular concern because they are expected to be as ubiquitous as their bulk counterparts. Nanoplastics are an important priority regarding fresh water quality as well as pollution transport in the environment and potential impact on human health. Recently, several studies on nanoplastics quantification and impact were undertaken and some of them are still ongoing. The workshop, organized within the PON TARANTO Research and Innovation Project, will discuss the most advanced results of such undergoing studies managed by public research centers in collaboration with private companies. The workshop talks will present, in particular, studies on the detection and characterization of nanoplastics in different matrices (water, air and food) and on some technology able to mitigate their impact on the environment and health. | |||
