Summary
Researchers used rare earth elements as probes to investigate metal-binding processes on nanoplastics in ocean and soil environments, revealing how nanoplastics can scavenge and concentrate trace metals in environmental systems.
Study Type
Environmental
The presence of nanoplastics in the ocean and soil demonstrates their global distribution in the environment.
