Summary
This study provided experimental evidence that degradable plastic polymers release fewer persistent hydrophobic pollutants through surface adsorption-desorption processes in marine environments compared to conventional plastics, supporting the argument that degradable plastics could reduce the marine environment's chemical pollution burden.
Information regarding adsorption–desorption of pollutants on degradable microplastics in marine environments is limited.
