Erosion Behaviour of Different Microplastic Particles
Summary
Different microplastic polymer types erode at varying rates depending on particle shape, material hardness, and environmental abrasion forces, generating secondary microplastic fragments over time. Understanding erosion behavior helps predict the long-term fragmentation fate of plastic debris and the continuing generation of smaller, more hazardous particles in the environment.
Microplastic (MP) has already been reported in terrestrial [1, 2], marine [3, 4] and limnic environments [5, 6] as well as in the atmosphere [7, 8], with the research focus recently shifting from marine to limnic compartments [9]. Although there are more and more...
