Abstrakt: This article discusses the potential effects of environmental nanoparticles on placental tissues and fetal development. The focus is on two types of nanoparticles: black carbon and nanoplastics. The article explains that these nanoparticles can penetrate intercellular barriers and be ingested by cells. It also highlights the need for research to understand the placental transfer of nanoparticles and their impact on placental function and fetal development. The article concludes by emphasizing the importance of well-controlled epidemiological and experimental studies to determine the effects of nanoparticles on pregnancy outcomes.
