Characteristics and mechanisms of dissolved organic matter leached by photodegradation of polyethylene microplastics: role of adsorbed antibiotics
Abstract
reactive oxygen species generation while temporarily stabilizing high-MW intermediates. Overall, the findings highlights that contaminant-laden MPs exhibit distinct DOM profiles compared to pristine MPs, emphasizing the necessity of considering co-pollutant interactions in environmental risk assessments.
