An advanced analytical approach to assess the long-term degradation of microplastics in the marine environment
Abstract Determining the hazards posed by microplastics (MPs, <5 mm) requires an understanding of plastic degradation processes when exposed to environmental weathering forces. However, despite their perceived risks, limited information exists on the natural weathering progression of microplastic...
