The ubiquity of plastics in our environment has brought about pressing concerns, with their
aging processes, photo-oxidation, mechanical abrasion, and biodegradation, being at the …

The interactions among dissolved organic matter (DOM), microplastics (MPs) and microbes
influence the fate of aqueous carbon and greenhouse gas emissions. However, the related …

The importance of water for all living organisms is unquestionable and protecting its sources
is crucial. In order to reduce water contaminants, like toxic metals and organic dyes …

In this study, we examined the preferential adsorption behavior of extracellular polymeric
substances (EPS) on two commonly used microplastics (MPs), including polyethylene (PE) …

Despite growing interest in research on visible-light-driven photocatalysts, reusable
photocatalysts have not been extensively developed for the treatment of natural organic …

Abstract This Assessment Update by the Environmental Effects Assessment Panel (EEAP) of
the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) considers the interactive effects of …

In-situ application of powdered photocatalysts in water systems is particularly challenging
owing to intrinsic hurdles, such as submersion in water without stirring, limited light …

Recent studies have increasingly focused on the occurrence of plastic leachate and its
impacts on aquatic ecosystems. Nonetheless, the environmental fate of this leachate in the …

In this work, the removal and transformation process of diethyl phthalate (DEP) in UV/
