Summary
This research investigated the interaction between microplastics and dissolved organic matter in freshwater systems, finding that natural organic coatings substantially altered particle surface properties and biological uptake rates. Organic matter conditioning of microplastic surfaces enhanced aggregation and sedimentation, affecting particle residence time and bioavailability in lake and river environments.
