Analysis of ultraviolet and thermal degradations of four common microplastics and evidence of nanoparticle release
Many environmental factors affect the breakdown of plastics in aquatic environments, including exposure to ultraviolet (UV) irradiation and elevated environmental temperatures. More studies are needed to understand how these stressors contribute to plastic degradation, resulting in the release of sm...
