The role of nanoplastic in marine pollution is greater than assumed
Nanoplastic particles are less than one micrometre in size, but by mass, their share in marine pollution is comparable to that of microplastic. This is the result of a study conducted by scientists from the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ) and the Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ).
