Summary
Researchers examined green photocatalysis as a strategy to degrade micro- and nanoplastics in marine environments, finding that sunlight-driven catalytic reactions can break down plastic particles and potentially reduce their ecological toxicity throughout oceanic food webs.

The presence of microplastics (MPs) or nanoplastics (NPs) in the ocean is one of our society's most pressing environmental issues. MPs and NPs cause health issues to the biota that consumes them and are being transferred throughout the tropic chain up to...
