Summary

Researchers studied how particle size and UV-induced aging of polystyrene nanoparticles affect their adsorption of copper(II) ions in aquatic environments, finding that smaller particles and UV-aged surfaces with altered surface chemistry showed markedly different adsorption kinetics and capacities, with implications for how nanoplastics transport heavy metal contaminants in water.
