Summary
This Raman imaging study characterized the eco-corona that forms around microplastics in natural water, identifying the organic molecules and biomolecules that coat plastic particles when they enter aquatic environments. Understanding the eco-corona is important because it alters the surface properties of microplastics and can influence how organisms interact with and ingest them.
