Binding of Perfluoroalkyl Substances to Nanoplastic Protein Corona Is pH‐Dependent and Attenuates Their Bioavailability and Toxicity
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Nanoplastics Nanoplastics serve as vectors for perfluoroalkyl pollutants in biological fluids, influencing protein binding behavior. Low pH weakens PFOS interactions while leaving PFOA unaffected, with PFOS still exhibiting greater serum persistence. Additionally, nanoplastics and serum albumin lower the cellular uptake and cytotoxicity of perfluoroalkyls by reducing their bioavailability.
