Article Abstract
Two sets of polystyrene nanoparticles (PSNPs) with comparable core sizes but different carboxyl group densities were made and separated using asymmetric flow field flow fractionation (AF4), capillary electrophoresis (CE), and the off-line hyphenation of both methods. Our results revealed the significant potential of two-dimensional off-line AF4-CE hyphenation to improve the separation and demonstrated for the first time, the applicability of CE to determine the functional group density of nanoparticles (NPs). Compared to the result acquired with conductometric titration, the result obtained with synthesized 100 nm sized PSNPs revealed only a slight deviation of 1.7%. Commercial 100 nm sized PSNPs yielded a deviation of 4.6%. For 60 nm sized PSNPs, a larger deviation of 10.6% between both methods was observed, which is attributed to the lower separation resolution.

Nanoplastics (NPs) and antibiotics are ubiquitous contaminants that frequently coexist and undergo interactions in various environments. While their combined toxicity is known to depend on NP physicochemical properties, the mechanistic basis of their toxicological interactions, particularly how surface charge and particle size modulate combined effects, remains unclear. Using as a model, we investigated the combined toxicity of florfenicol (FF) with four polystyrene nanoplastics (PS-NPs) differing in size (100 nm (PS-100) and 500 nm (PS-500)) and surface modification (-NH (PS-NH) and -COOH (PS-COOH)), and the mechanisms were explained through integrated analyses of bioaccumulation, detoxification gene expression, and metabolic homeostasis.

Nanoplastics (NPs) are emerging contaminants that have received worldwide attention due to their threats to human health. Although NPs have been reported to cause adverse effects on animal retinas, their potential effects on the human retina are poorly understood. This study aims to investigate the impact of polystyrene-NPs (PS-NPs) on human neural retina organoids (hNROs), which mimic the early developing neural retina.

The aim of the study was to determine the concentration- and size-dependent effects of ~30 nm, ~45 nm and ~70 nm non-functionalized polystyrene nanoparticles (PS-NPs) on human serum albumin (HSA) and human erythrocyte proteins in vitro. . HSA or human erythrocytes were exposed to PS-NPs at concentrations ranging from 0.

Microplastics and nanoplastics (MNPs) are widespread in the environment and have male reproductive toxicity. However, toxic interventions involving MNPs have not been extensively examined. In this investigation, we explored the elimination capacity of magnetic nano-FeO on polystyrene microplastics and nanoplastics (PS-MNPs) of different sizes.

Nanoplastics are emerging contaminants that can enter the human body through food consumption, raising concerns about their potential health impacts. Among these, polystyrene nanoplastics (PS-NPs) are frequently used in toxicological studies due to their widespread use in food-contact materials and their well-defined physicochemical properties. In this study, we investigated the behavior and cytotoxicity of PS-NPs in the presence of a nutritionally relevant, real food matrix (milk) under simulated three-phase gastrointestinal digestion.
