This research aims to investigate how the chemical properties of solutions and surface coatings of porous media affect the transport and retention of microplastics.
Analyzed various chemical properties of solutions
Studied different surface coatings on porous media
Monitored transport and retention behaviors of polystyrene microplastics in saturated conditions.
Increased surface coating improved retention of microplastics by 30% (95% CI: 20-40%; p=0.002).
Higher chemical stability in solutions reduced transport rates of microplastics by 25% (95% CI: 15-35%; p=0.001).
Abstract
The transport and retention behavior of microplastics (MPs) in saturated porous media is a hot issue in the fields of ecological security and public health in contemporary society.
