Nanoplastics are potentially more dangerous than microplastics
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nanoplastics are probably much more dangerous for living organisms than microplastics because they abundant and reactive. They can potentially reach remote locations penetrate in cells. Here we compare nanoplastics with engineered nanoparticles, focus on formation, size, reactivity, mobility, biofilms, interactions microbes, pollutants natural organic matter.

Are driving and overtaking on right curves more dangerous than on left curves?
It is well known that crashes on horizontal curves are a cause for concern in all countries due to the frequency and severity of crashes at curves compared to road tangents. A recent study of crashes in western Sweden reported a higher rate of crashes in right curves than left curves. To further understand this result, this paper reports the results of novel analyses of the responses of vehicle...
متن کاملAlien predators are more dangerous than native predators to prey populations.
Alien predators are widely considered to be more harmful to prey populations than native predators. To evaluate this expectation, we conducted a meta-analysis of the responses of vertebrate prey in 45 replicated and 35 unreplicated field experiments in which the population densities of mammalian and avian predators had been manipulated. Our results showed that predator origin (native versus ali...
متن کاملDoctors Are More Dangerous Than Gun Owners: A Rejoinder to Error Counting
OBJECTIVE This paper analyzes some of the problems with error counting as well as the difficulty of proposing viable alternatives. BACKGROUND Counting and tabulating negatives (e.g., errors) are currently popular ways to measure and help improve safety in a variety of domains. They uphold an illusion of rationality and control but may offer neither real insight nor productive routes for impro...
متن کاملDoes Biosynthetic Silver Nanoparticles Are More Stable With Lower Toxicity than Their Synthetic Counterparts?
Control of size and shape is a challenge in nanoparticle synthesis. Synthetic and biosynthetic (both extracellular and intracellular) methods are used to prepare silver nanoparticle (SNP). In this study, the behavior of three strains of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) was investigated in the presence of silver nitrate intra- and extracellularly. S. aureus strains biosynthesized SNPs intracell...
