This publication is a brief review of the problem of micro- (MP) and nanoplastics (NP), small polymer particles that pollute the environment and threaten to ecosystems and human health. Characteristics of MF and NP, sources of their enter into the environment, impact on living organisms are considered. Different areas of MF and NP study are highlighted. With the abundance of works carried out, their fragmentation is observed, and there is no whole understanding of threats to human health.

Эта публикация – краткий обзор проблем, связанных с микро- (МП) и нанопластиком (НП) – мелкими полимерными частицами, загрязняющими окружающую среду и представляющими угрозу экосистемам и здоровью человека. Рассмотрены характеристики МП и НП, источники их попадания в окружающую среду, воздействие на живые организмы. Выделены различные области изучения МП и НП. При обилии проведенных работ наблюдается их некоторая фрагментарность, отсутствует единое и цельное понимание угроз здоровью человека.
