Polystyrene nanoplastics of different particle sizes regulate the polarization of pro-inflammatory macrophages
Abstract Microplastics (MPs) are defined as plastic particles smaller than 5 mm in size, and nanoplastics (NPs) are those MPs with a particle size of less than 1000 nm or 100 nm. The prevalence of MPs in the environment and human tissues has raised concerns about their potential negative effects on...
