Summary
Researchers investigate photochemical processes as both a potential solution and a contributor to microplastic pollution, examining how UV-driven degradation can fragment larger plastics into nanoplastics while also exploring photocatalysis as a remediation strategy.
There is growing concern about the environmental and human health effects of micro- and nanoplastics (NP) which have been released into the environment. These particles which are from anthropogenic origin are now ubiquitous in the environment and have been found in...
