DESCRIPTION
In a laboratory set-up simulating the human stomach and intestine, researchers at the University of Amsterdam have explored the fate of plastic nanoparticles during gastrointestinal digestion. In a paper in Chemosphere, they report how a range of model plastic nanoparticles interact with digestive enzymes and form agglomerates.
