Uptake and release of perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids (PFCAs) from macro and microplastics

Posted on by

Environ. Sci.: Processes Impacts, 2023, 25,1519-1531
DOI: 10.1039/D3EM00209H, Paper
Philip J. Brahana, Ahmed Al Harraq, Luis E. Saab, Ruby Roberg, Kaillat T. Valsaraj, Bhuvnesh Bharti
Microplastics can spontaneously uptake PFCAs impacting plastic wettability and dispersity in water. The adsorbed PFCAs are subsequently released due to sunlight-indued weathering of the plastics, thus potentially influencing their mutual transport in the aquatic environment.
