Article Synopsis
- Microplastics (MPs) can stick to lots of different pollutants in the environment, making them important to study.
- This research looked at how different types of MPs and their structures affect how they absorb these pollutants.
- It found that the way a chemical sticks to MPs depends a lot on how "water-repelling" (or hydrophobic) the chemical is and how solid the MP is, with stronger effects seen for very hydrophobic chemicals.
