Researchers developed a synthesis method for model polyethylene particles designed to replicate the physicochemical properties of naturally degraded nanoplastics in the ocean, addressing the need for environmentally representative reference materials for studying nanoplastic behavior in marine systems.
Annually, 10 to 20 million tons of plastics find their way into oceans, where they undergo fragmentation into smaller debris through (photo)degradation. Nanoplastics ( Also see: https://micro2024.sciencesconf.org/557518/document
