Summary
Researchers investigate how microplastics change chemically during accelerated aging, detecting potentially harmful compounds released as plastics degrade, raising concerns about the additional toxicological risks posed by weathered microplastics beyond the particles themselves.
Microplastics (MPs) have now been detected in all the main environmental compartments, and the associated environmental and health hazards have been the focus of intense social, scientific, and media attention (Goßmann et al. in Sci Total Environ 832, 2022;...
