  • Metal–organic frameworks are increasingly used in environmental technologies, whereby their biomolecular coronas determine their identity, transport, persistence and ecosystem effects. We argue that further research is needed to embed corona considerations into framework systems design and regulation, and we outline the minimal, actionable steps needed to achieve this.

  • The inability to observe the rapid, initial transformations that dictate nanomaterial fate constitutes a fundamental scientific gap, forcing risk assessments to rely on retrospective, incomplete data. A paradigm shift to real-time, operando characterization is vital to build the predictive understanding required for the development of safe and sustainable nanomaterials and applications.

  • This Protocol describes preprocessing of different environmental samples and extraction of microplastics and nanoplastics, as well as qualitative and quantitative characterization of microplastics and nanoplastics. The analytical technologies used for characterization include attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, laser direct infrared spectroscopy and optical photothermal infrared microspectroscopy.

  • Metal–organic frameworks hold immense application potential, but their stability and environmental safety remain barriers to industrial translation. Embracing the ‘safe and sustainable by design’ framework would, however, set a transformative pathway to the development of robust, recyclable metal–organic frameworks, ensuring functionality, minimal ecological impact and alignment with circular economy and chemical sustainability goals.

  • Nanoplastic contamination is a serious environmental concern and could have implications on plant life depending upon interactions. Here, the authors study the effect of size and charge on the accumulation and uptake of model polymer nanoparticles by plant roots which has implications for environmental exposure and nanoparticle delivery to plants.
