Plastic pollution has been recognised as one of the major global threats for marine ecosystems. In the Mediterranean basin, plastic debris are present at concentrations comparable to the subtropical ocean gyres. Microplastics (< 5 mm) also reached the most remote environment on Earth, being reported in Antarctic surface waters and sediments. The limited knowledge on the biological impacts of the smallest fraction of plastic debris, defined as nanoplastics (< 1 μm), is of primary concern, due to their high surface reactivity and nanometric size that allow to easily interact with biological surfaces at the cellular level. Within this thesis, the bioaccumulation and toxicity of nanoplastics in Mediterranean and Antarctic marine organisms have...
