Abstract

Microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) are widespread environmental contaminants with documented impacts on human health, particularly on the female reproductive system. Defined as polymeric fragments smaller than 5 mm, MPs (typically ranging from 1 µm to 5 mm) and NPs (smaller than 1 µm, often
