Summary
This research investigated the degradation of polyurethane foam under outdoor weathering conditions, tracking the formation and release of secondary microplastics over a two-year period. Results showed that UV radiation and mechanical abrasion acted synergistically to accelerate foam fragmentation, generating large numbers of irregular particles smaller than 1 mm that were not captured by standard beach litter monitoring protocols.
