The concentrations of adsorbed Pb and PFOS were 4-25% and 20-85% higher in aged MFs and varied among the polymer types. The increased contaminant adsorption was linked with the altered surface area and the hydrophobic/hydrophilic characteristics of the samples. Overall, the present study demonstrates that biofilms play a decisive role in contaminant-plastic interactions and significantly enhance the vector potential of MFs for toxic environmental contaminants. We anticipate that knowledge generated from this study will help refine the planetary risk assessment of MPs.]]> Thu 15 Jun 2023 12:09:35 AEST ]]> PlastiBiome: unravelling the interaction of microorganisms with plastics and its environmental implication https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:55037 Thu 04 Apr 2024 13:20:19 AEDT ]]> Spatial turnover of core and occasional bacterial taxa in the plastisphere from a plateau river, China https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51792 Mon 18 Sep 2023 15:18:10 AEST ]]> Benchmarking bioplastics: a natural step towards a sustainable future https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37874 Fri 28 May 2021 10:53:02 AEST ]]> Interaction of chemical contaminants with microplastics: principles and perspectives https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40142 Fri 08 Jul 2022 14:10:53 AEST ]]>
