Summary
Researchers studied how UV exposure alters the size, morphology, and chemical structure of polystyrene nanospheres in suspension, providing mechanistic insight into nanoplastic weathering. The results showed that UV irradiation progressively changes particle surface chemistry and size distribution in ways relevant to environmental fate and toxicity.
