Summary

Researchers investigated the adsorption behavior and mechanisms of heavy metals by typical microplastics before and after environmental aging, finding that aging significantly alters microplastics' surface properties and capacity to bind metals such as cadmium and lead in aquatic systems.

As a new type of pollutant, microplastics can be used as carriers of heavy metals in the water environment, which can have an impact on the migration and transformation of heavy metals and toxic effects. Microplastics can age in the environment and adsorb heavy metals, causing significant impact
