Microplastic Properties Govern the Photodegradation of Sorbed Anthracene in Aquatic Environments

Current plastic manufacturing trends have led to increases in microplastic pollution and corresponding adverse effects for aquatic ecosystems. Microplastics are important sorption sites for hydrophobic organic contaminants. Over the microplastic environmental lifetime, sorbed contaminants may undergo solar photodegradation, but little is known about the influence of microplastic properties. In this work, we explored the photodegradation of …
