Overview

This review investigates how eco-coronas and bio-coronas influence contaminant behavior in aquatic systems, highlighting their implications.

Key Points

  • The aim is to synthesize current evidence on how eco- and bio-corona formations affect the toxicokinetics of pollutants associated with microplastics and nanoplastics.
  • Reviewed and synthesized existing literature on microplastics and nanoplastics in aquatic environments.
  • Explored relationships between particle modifications, eco-corona and bio-corona formation, and contaminant interactions.
  • Developed a predictive framework to link physical changes due to aging and corona formation to toxicological outcomes.
  • Eco-corona formation alters the aggregation and stability of microplastics, influencing contaminant behavior.
  • Toxicokinetics of contaminants is significantly affected by plastic aging, with conditions requiring scenario-specific assessments.
  • Chemical flux from natural sources can exceed that from ingested plastics for many contaminants, except in specific cases like antibiotics and metals.
