(Nanowerk News) Nanoplastics, emerging as persistent environmental pollutants, pose significant threats due to their durability and wide distribution in water bodies. Their interactions with natural ...

This figure illustrates key mechanisms in the aggregation of nanoplastics (NPs) with natural organic matter (NOMs), including weak interactions, calcium bridging, surface reactivity, and the dynamic ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Water bodies have absorbed millions of tons of plastic debris since mass production began in the 1950s. As these materials degrade, they break into microscopic and nanoscale ...

This schematic illustrates the key processes involved in the aggregation of nanoplastics (NPs) and natural organic matter (NOMs). The image highlights weak interactions, surface reactivity, and ...
