Microplastics with adsorbed contaminants: Mechanisms and Treatment
Plastic pollution has been a significant and widespread global issue, and the recent COVID-19 pandemic has been attributed to its worsening effect as plastics have been contaminated with the deadly infectious virus. Microplastics (MPs) may have played a role as a vector that carries hazardous microb...
