Biodegradable Microplastics: Environmental Fate and Persistence in Comparison to Micro- and Nanoplastics from Traditional, Non-Degradable Polymers
The escalating production of virgin plastics has resulted in an unprecedented generation of microplastics (MPs), posing significant environmental and health risks. Biodegradable plastics have emerged as an alternative, but their degradation also releases microplastic-sized particles, referred to as...
