Identification of Nanoplastics by Probing the Viscous Nanoenvironment.

ABSTRACT: With the growing prevalence of global microplastic and nanoplastic pollution, the accumulation of nanoplastics in the human body has increased, heightening the risk of noncommunicable diseases including cancer, cardiovascular disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. However, the development of fluorescent probes for detecting nanoplastics remains challenging due to the lack of reactive sites on nanoplastics for conventional design of responsive probes. In this work, a novel strategy for the sensitive detection of nanoplastics by probing the viscous nanoenvironment surrounding them is presented. This study synthesizes a cationic fluorescent probe, Purification by silica gel column chromatography (CH₂Cl₂/MeOH) provided (E)-2-(2-(4-(dimethylamino)nanphthalen-1-yl)viny
