JZJian ZhangPlanetary Science Institute BZBaowei Zhao YZYin ZhangCincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center

Key Points

This research aims to explore the adsorption performance of microplastics with ciprofloxacin.
Examined the adsorption of ciprofloxacin to varying types of microplastics.
Tested different textures and aging degrees of microplastics in aqueous environments.
Assessed the ecological implications of antibiotic adsorption by microplastics.
Microplastics effectively adsorbed ciprofloxacin, with variations based on texture and aging.
Aging significantly impacted the adsorption efficiency of microplastics for ciprofloxacin.
Antibiotics' presence in aquatic systems is exacerbated by microplastic pollution.

Abstract

Microplastics (MPs) have emerged as pervasive contaminants within aquatic systems.The ability of MPs to adsorb antibiotics significantly affects pollutant dynamics and increases ecological risks, yet the impact of various MP...
