Do aging microplastics increase environmental risks from organic contaminants? Study suggests less than expected
Researchers find that soil aging of polyethylene microplastics has only a limited effect on their interactions with organic contaminants. Scientists have long worried that aging microplastics in soil could become increasingly effective at interacting with organic contaminants.
