A Toxic Journey: Microplastics as Vectors for Contaminants
Summary
Researchers examined how microplastics act as vectors for chemical contaminants, demonstrating that their large surface area, hydrophobicity, and electrostatic properties allow them to adsorb and concentrate heavy metals, pesticides, and persistent organic pollutants, amplifying their toxicity as they move through food chains.
Sufficient and latest information on the journey of the toxicity venture of microplastics (MPs) are given in many literatures. MPs play vital roles as a vector for chemical contaminants because of having unique surface properties such as a huge specific surface area,...
