Behavior and mechanism of atrazine adsorption on pristine and aged microplastics in the aquatic environment: Kinetic and thermodynamic studies

Researchers systematically explored how the pesticide atrazine adsorbs onto both pristine and aged microplastics in aquatic environments. The study found that aged microplastics had higher adsorption capacities than pristine ones, with the aging process and pH significantly affecting surface charge and adsorption behavior, suggesting that weathered microplastics may carry greater loads of chemical contaminants.

Adsorption behaviors of chlorpyrifos on UV aged microplastics

Researchers investigated how UV aging affects the adsorption of the pesticide chlorpyrifos on biodegradable and non-degradable microplastics, finding that UV irradiation significantly modified plastic surfaces and enhanced their capacity to carry organic pollutants.

The role of microplastic aging on chlorpyrifos adsorption-desorption and microplastic bioconcentration

Researchers investigated how microplastic aging affects chlorpyrifos adsorption-desorption behavior, finding that aged microplastics had higher pesticide sorption capacity and bioconcentration potential, suggesting weathered MPs pose greater risks as pollutant carriers.

Adsorption behaviors of atrazine and imidacloprid on high temperature aged microplastics: Mechanism and influencing factors

Researchers investigated how aged polyethylene microplastics — the kind that have been weathered by UV light and heat in the environment — adsorb common agricultural pesticides, finding that microplastics can accumulate pesticides like atrazine and imidacloprid at high concentrations through hydrophobic (water-avoiding) interactions. This "Trojan horse" effect means microplastics can carry and potentially concentrate pesticides as they move through water environments.
