Summary

This research examined the colloidal stability and aggregation behavior of nanoplastic particles in estuarine water across salinity gradients, finding rapid aggregation and sedimentation at marine salinities. The transition from freshwater to saltwater conditions in estuaries represents a critical zone for nanoplastic removal from the water column through salinity-driven coagulation.
