A comparative review of microplastics and nanoplastics: Toxicity hazards on digestive, reproductive and nervous system
Abstract
Abstract Due to its excellent physical and chemical properties and low price, plastic has replaced part of the use of stone, wood and metal. The inability to degrade and improper handling have caused plastic pollution to become one of the most serious environmental problems in the world today. Plastic fragments undergo ultraviolet radiation, natural weathering, and biodegradation to form microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) 1 . The current research on MPs mainly focuses on transportation, bioaccumulation and toxicity. However, existing reviews treat NPs and MPs as a whole to discuss toxic damage, and ignore their differences in toxicity. In this review, we provided the latest research information on the differences in toxicity between MPs and NPs in the digestive system, reproductive system and nervous system, and explored the possible reasons for differences in toxicity for the first time. Finally, it is recommended to consider the influence of microplastics components on the differences in toxicity, as most of the researches now focuses on a few types of microplastics. And it is necessary to study the unique toxicity mechanism of MPs/NPs in bioaccumulation and pathway activation from the differences in physical properties.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
