Degradation of Microplastics in the Environment
AI summary Read the abstract
This review outlines the mechanical, chemical, and biological degradation pathways of environmental microplastics, noting that degradation rates depend on polymer structure, chemical additives, and environmental conditions such as temperature and UV exposure. Understanding how microplastics break down is essential because degradation produces smaller nanoplastics and releases toxic additives, potentially increasing bioavailability and health risks over time.
