Microplastics in river water: occurrence, weathering, and adsorption behaviour

Environmental Science Water Research & Technology 2025
Bishwatma Biswas, Anuja Joseph, Sudha Goel

Summary

Researchers examined microplastics in river water, characterizing their occurrence, degree of weathering, and capacity to adsorb co-contaminants. The study highlights microplastics as vectors that can transport and re-release other pollutants in freshwater systems.

Study Type Environmental

Microplastics (MPs) are emerging contaminants of concern due to their ubiquitous presence in aquatic environments and their ability to adsorb, transport, and rerelease other contaminants.
