The aggregation and sedimentation of micro/nano-plastics significantly affect their migration and distribution in the environment. This study investigated the effects of Na and natural organic matter (NOM) on the aggregation and sedimentation of polystyrene nano-plastics (PS-NPs) in the aqueous phase. Six types of water, such as seawater, lake water, and domestic sewage, were used to evaluate the above effects and other potential influencing factors.
