Summary

Researchers investigated how polystyrene nanoplastics affect the transport of three platinum-based anticancer drugs through water-saturated natural soil and found that nanoplastic surface functionalization altered drug mobility and affected the soil microbial community.

Polymers
PS

The transport of three platinum-based anticancer drugs (cisplatin, oxaliplatin and carboplatin) in soil–water environments, with and without the presence of two different types of surface functionalized polystyrene nanoparticles (PS-NPs; “nanoplastics”), was investigated.
