Analysis of Chemical Compounds Related to Microplastics
Summary
Microplastics act as vectors for toxic hydrophobic compounds, forming complex chemical interactions that amplify environmental and biological hazards beyond those of the plastics themselves. Understanding these chemical associations is essential for accurately assessing the combined toxicological risk microplastics pose to ecosystems and human health.
Microplastics (MPs) are recognized as emergent contaminants in both terrestrial and aquatic environments due to their ability to absorb and release toxic chemicals. The complex interactions that occur between synthetic MPs polymers and hydrophobic toxic compounds,...
