Micro and nanoplastics (MNPs) have attracted growing global research attention due to their distinct environmental impacts, addressing escalating concerns. The diverse materials, sizes, and shapes of MNPs result in a range of environmental impacts. Size, a crucial characteristic of MNPs, influences their environmental behavior, affecting processes like migration, sedimentation, aggregation, and adsorption. Moreover, size modulates the biodistribution and toxicity of MNPs in aquatic organisms. This review delves into the comprehensive impacts of plastic size, with a primary focus on environmental behavior and toxic effects. Ultimately, this review emphasizes the ecological implications of MNP size, laying a foundation for future research in this field.
微塑料和纳米塑料（MNPs）因其独特的环境影响而引起了越来越多的全球研究关注，解决了不断升级的问题。MNPs 的不同材料、大小和形状导致了一系列的环境影响。大小是 MNPs 的一个关键特征，影响着它们在环境中的行为，影响着迁移、沉淀、聚集和吸附等过程。此外，大小还调节了 MNPs 在水生生物中的生物分布和毒性。本综述深入探讨了塑料大小的综合影响，主要关注环境行为和毒理效应。最终，本综述强调了 MNPs 大小的生态意义，为该领域的未来研究奠定了基础。
