Microplastics habituated with biofilm change decabrominated diphenyl ether degradation products and thyroid endocrine toxicity

Microplastics (MPs) are rapidly colonized by microbial biofilms in a natural aquatic environment, and the nature of the microbial community and type of MP can result in different degradation products of organic pollutants. Here, we quantified the degradation products of a ubiquitously detected pollu...
