The Fate of Microplastics, Derived from Disposable Masks, in Natural Aquatic Environments
This paper mainly reviews the fate of microplastics, released from used face masks, in the water environment. Through previous experiments, the amount of fiber microplastics released from used face masks into aqueous environments was not negligible, with the maximum microplastics releasing amount re...
