Toward Optimizing Microplastic Transport Models through Biofouling Experiments
Environmental Science & Technology
2026
Summary
Researchers conducted biofouling experiments to improve the accuracy of microplastic transport models, examining how biological colonization of plastic surfaces alters buoyancy and sinking rates at a rate measured per week, providing empirical data to refine predictions of where MPs ultimately accumulate in aquatic environments.
