Abstract excerpt
Environmental pollution by micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) raises concerns about their toxicity to humans, particularly through ingestion. While the impact of native MNPs is increasingly documented, environmentally degraded MNPs remain poorly studied. We assessed the intestinal impact of biodegradable and non-biodegradable nanoplastics (NPLs), polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and poly-lactic acid (PLA), both...
