Desorption of Hydrophobic Organic Chemicals from Fragment-Type Microplastics
AI summary Read the abstract
Hydrophobic organic chemicals (HOCs) including persistent pollutants desorb from irregularly shaped polyethylene and polypropylene microplastic fragments in seawater at rates predictable from simple geometric approximations of particle size. This matters because microplastics act as mobile carriers of toxic chemicals, and understanding desorption kinetics helps assess how much contamination is released into marine food webs.
Microplastics in Landfill and Leachate
AI summary Read the abstract
This chapter comprehensively reviewed microplastic sources, concentrations, transport pathways, and removal techniques within landfills and their leachate — a heavily overlooked but significant vector for microplastic release into surrounding soils and waterways. Landfills act as long-term reservoirs that continuously leach microplastics into groundwater and surface water, making leachate treatment a critical and underaddressed frontier in pollution control.
