Nanoplastics. Threat to Life | ALLATRA Documentary

Nanoplastics. Threat to Life is a December 2025 research-based documentary produced by the ALLATRA Global Research Center. With a main runtime of about one hour, the film examines microplastics (under 5 mm) and nanoplastics (under 1 μm) as a pressing environmental and health concern.
Using scientific data, expert insights, and animations, it illustrates how these particles—from plastic degradation, industry, consumer products, and waste—have spread into air, water, soil, food chains, and human bodies. Detection in drinking water, seafood, salt, airborne dust, blood, organs, placenta, and reproductive tissues is highlighted.
The documentary covers potential cellular interactions via electrostatic charge, effects on mitochondria, ion channels, and neurotransmitters, along with associated issues like inflammation, oxidative stress, endocrine disruption, immune changes, fertility concerns, prenatal/postnatal effects, and disease risks including cancer. It also addresses ecosystem impacts on biodiversity, oceans, and climate stability.
Presented accessibly, it calls for international cooperation, better detection, and mitigation. Available on YouTube, it contributes to ongoing discussions on plastic pollution. Scientific research continues to investigate exposure and long-term implications.
