DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2021.117568
Abstract: The retention of microplastics, a complex blend of polymers and plastic additives (PAs), in municipal sludge has been reported. The inevitable release of PAs from microplastics might affect the subsequent biological disposal of sludge, and… read more here.
