Aggregation dynamics of nanoplastics: insights through real world waste

APAnanda PokhrelNew Jersey Institute of Technology MIMohammad Saiful IslamNew Jersey Institute of Technology SMSomenath Mitra

Key Points

The research aims to understand how nanoplastics aggregate in different environments and the implications for transport and risks.
Analysis of PET and PS nanoplastics in various water types
Comparison of aggregation in freshwater and seawater
Assessment of electrolyte influence on aggregation
Nanoplastics remain stable in freshwater but aggregate quickly in seawater
Electrolyte presence significantly alters aggregation behavior
Aggregation impacts transport and bioavailability of nanoplastics

Abstract

Real-world PET and PS nanoplastics show electrolyte-dependent aggregation, and are stable in freshwater but rapidly coagulate in seawater, influencing their transport, bioavailability, and environmental risks.
