Summary
This study showed that different environmental weathering pathways — UV exposure, mechanical abrasion, and chemical aging — differentially affect nanoplastic aggregation behavior, with implications for how their colloidal stability and environmental transport should be assessed in risk evaluations.
This study demonstrates that environmental weathering processes differentially affect the aggregation behavior of nanoplastics, providing important insights into the risk assessment of nanoplastics contamination.
