TLDR
It has been found that the small size and high surface area of NPs make them more toxic to organisms than microplastics, however, most of the current toxicological studies of NPS on freshwater organisms could not be simulated in real environment.About:

Nsikak U. Benson,Omowumi D. Agboola,Omowunmi H. Fred-Ahmadu,Gabriel E. De-la-Torre,A. I. Oluwalana,Akan B. Williams +5 more
TL;DR: In this article , a review mainly addresses the prevalence, food web interactions, and toxicity assessment of micro(nano) plastics in marine and freshwater organisms, and summarizes documented studies based on the following broad objectives: (1) the occurrence and prevalence of micro-nano-plastic plastic particles in marine environments; (2) the ingestion of MNPs by aquatic biota and the food web exposure routes and bioaccumulation of contaminated MNPs, and (3) the adsorption and desorption of persistent organic pollutants, metals, and chemical additives on/from micro-plastics; and (4) the probable ecotoxicological effects of microplastic ingestion on aquatic organisms.
