Sorption Behavior of Trace Organic Chemicals on Nanoplastics and their Implications on Co-contaminant Transport
DownloadFall 2023
Nanoplastics are plastic fragments less than 1000 nm and are a growing concern within the plastic pollution crisis. They have distinct properties that differ from bulk plastics because of their size, large surface area-to-volume ratio, and their potential to disrupt biological processes once...
