Unveiling Mixed Microplastics and Organic Contaminants of Different Classes Affection: Dual-Phase Partitioning and Biofilm-Switch Mechanisms Dictate the Fate of Biodegradation
for SMX. Overall, MPs act as conditional regulators: enhancing biodegradation at realistic doses, but at high concentrations, PP-10 μm becomes a potent sink and microreactor, retarding TCS degradation yet accelerating its own weathering.
