Solar radiation stimulates release of semi-labile dissolved organic matter from microplastics
Microplastics can release dissolved organic matter (DOM) into seawater under solar radiation exposure. However, the molecular composition and bioavailability of this DOM remain to be investigated. Here, two popular microplastics, low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and polystyrene (PS), were exposed to...
