Abstract
The prevalence of microplastics (MPs) in the environment is an escalating global concern, driven by their increasing abundance and potential adverse effects. Their detrimental environmental consequences and risks to public health necessitate urgent action ...Open AccessReview articleFirst published November 4, 2024pp. 425–435
Abstract
We investigated the adsorption of organic pesticides on environmentally relevant polystyrene (PS) microplastics. In this study, the PS microplastics underwent distinct laboratory aging treatments to stimulate the aged microplastic waste found in natural ...Restricted accessResearch articleFirst published November 4, 2024pp. 436–447
Abstract
Current research regarding microplastic (MP) fate and effects has largely focused on pristine MPs in simplified aquatic solutions. Yet, MPs are readily transformed upon entering the environment through processes including photochemical weathering and the ...Restricted accessResearch articleFirst published November 4, 2024pp. 448–458
Abstract
Microplastics (MPs) pollution has garnered global attention because of its potential risk. The removal efficiencies for MPs in traditional water and wastewater treatment plants are generally low. Coagulation is a widely used process in these facilities. ...Restricted accessResearch articleFirst published November 4, 2024pp. 459–466
Abstract
Aggregation, adsorption, and biofilm formation are involved in the fate and transport of nanoplastics in the aquatic environment. These interfacial processes are closely related to surface charge and electrical double layer (EDL) structure. As it is ...Restricted accessResearch articleFirst published November 4, 2024pp. 467–476
Abstract
The prevalence of microplastics (MPs) poses significant threats to freshwater ecosystem and human health worldwide. Although synthetic coagulation and flocculation chemicals have demonstrated initial success in removing certain MPs, naturally abundant and ...Restricted accessResearch articleFirst published November 4, 2024pp. 477–489
Abstract
The quantification of microplastics (MPs) in environmental samples on a mass basis can be used to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the fate and transport of MPs in the environment. In this study, a precise method for quantifying the volumes ...Restricted accessResearch articleFirst published November 4, 2024pp. 490–498
Abstract
Plastic pollution from freshwater and atmospheric sources into coastal and marine environments is complex and the extent is largely unquantified. Such a gap in knowledge of marine microplastic sources, fate, and transport requires a spectrum of engineers ...Restricted accessResearch articleFirst published November 4, 2024pp. 499–507
