Abstract: The widespread coexistence of hydrophilic organic compounds and microplastics (MPs) in the environment has greatly increased their associated environmental problems. To evaluate the potential carrier effect of oxygen-containing MPs on coexisting pollutants, adsorption behaviors of… read more here.
