The presence of micro- and nano-plastic pollution has emerged as a critical threat to environmental sustainability. As plastic materials degrade into smaller particles, less than 5 millimeters in size, they infiltrate terrestrial ecosystems, posing a danger to both the environment and human health. Despite the ongoing efforts of scientists worldwide, the scientific community still faces significant challenges in fully grasping the complexity and degradation of these microplastics and nanoplastics, let alone finding effective solutions to curb their further spread. As the urgency to address this issue grows, there is a pressing need for a comprehensive resource that delves into the intricacie...
