Summary

Researchers reviewed the sorption of pharmaceuticals onto microplastics in the environment, finding that microplastics act as vectors for pharmaceutical contaminants, potentially enhancing their transport and bioavailability in aquatic ecosystems and increasing combined toxicity risks.

The presence of microplastics (MPs) in the environment has gained increasing attention in recent years. They are emerging environmental contaminants distributed worldwide that may have a negative impact on ecosystems, organisms, and even in human health. However, MPs...
