From Micro-Plastic to Nano-Plastic in Wastewater: A Study of Their Potentials to Impact Biogeochemical Processes Using Electron Microscope
Summary
Using electron microscopy, researchers examined how microplastics in wastewater degrade into nanoplastics and affect key biological and chemical processes in water systems. The study found that nanoplastics can disrupt nitrogen cycling and other biogeochemical processes critical to healthy ecosystems.
