The Hidden Life of Microplastics: Bio-Aging and Organic Sorption in Water Systems

Plastic pollution is often discussed in terms of what we can see: floating debris, shoreline litter, and microplastics (MPs) in surface waters. However, a less visible but equally important aspect is how plastics evolve in the environment and how this transformation affects contaminant transport. My master’s thesis and research focused on this overlooked dimension throughContinue reading “The Hidden Life of Microplastics: Bio-Aging and Organic Sorption in Water Systems”
