dc.description.abstractNanoplastics - Plastic waste breaks down into small particles, which depending on their size can be classified as microplastics 0 001 5 mm) or nanoplastics (up to a maximum of 0 001 mm), which can be transported by air, water, and food. Toxic exposure vehicle - In addition to these effects per se nanoplastics are the polymers with the greatest impact on the environment, since they can absorb and thus act as vectors for highly toxic compounds such as aromatic hydrocarbons, heavy metals, persistent organic pollutants (POPs), endocrine disruptors (Bisphenol A, Phthalates) among others. POPs - Directly linked to hormonal, immunological, neurological, and reproductive dysfunctions They remain in the environment for a long time and, once ingested, can attach themselves to body fat, blood, and body fluids in animals and humans. BPA - In packaged products exposure to which is associated with various diseases such as diabetes, polycystic ovary syndrome, infertility, and uterine fibroids, among others.eng
