Abstract

Microplastics (MPs) are widely present in the environment, with large specific surface area and strong adsorption, which can adsorb contaminants such as heavy metals, organic matters, and microorganisms, and change their fate in the environment. At the same time, the contaminants also affect the properties of MPs and their adsorption, transport, and degradation in the environment, which causes potential risks to the ecological environment. Research on the interaction between MPs and contaminants is the basis for the environmental risk assessment of MPs. At present, relevant researches are mostly focused on the distribution of MPs and their adsorption to contaminants. However, there are relatively few studies on the effects of contaminants on the properties of MPs and the changes in the properties of them after adsorption. Therefore, the article summarizes the distribution of MPs in the environment; and taking adsorption as an example to sort out the factors and mechanisms that affect the interaction. The current research status of the interaction between MPs and contaminants are reviewed, and finally we look forward to future research directions to provide reference and help for future researches on MPs.

微塑料与污染物相互作用研究进展

微塑料(MPs)广泛存在于环境中，具有比表面积大、吸附性强的特点，可以吸附重金属、有机物、微生物等污染物，改变其在环境中的命运。同时，污染物还会影响MPs的性质及其在环境中的吸附、迁移和降解，对生态环境造成潜在的风险。研究多聚物与污染物的相互作用是多聚物环境风险评价的基础。目前，相关研究主要集中在MPs的分布及其对污染物的吸附上。然而，污染物对MPs性能的影响以及吸附后MPs性能变化的研究相对较少。因此，本文总结了MPs在环境中的分布;并以吸附为例，梳理了影响相互作用的因素和机理。综述了MPs与污染物相互作用的研究现状，最后展望了未来的研究方向，为今后MPs的研究提供参考和帮助。

期刊介绍： Environmental Chemistry publishes manuscripts addressing the chemistry of the environment (air, water, earth, and biota), including the behaviour and impacts of contaminants and other anthropogenic disturbances. The scope encompasses atmospheric chemistry, geochemistry and biogeochemistry, climate change, marine and freshwater chemistry, polar chemistry, fire chemistry, soil and sediment chemistry, and chemical aspects of ecotoxicology. Papers that take an interdisciplinary approach, while advancing our understanding of the linkages between chemistry and physical or biological processes, are particularly encouraged. While focusing on the publication of important original research and timely reviews, the journal also publishes essays and opinion pieces on issues of importance to environmental scientists, such as policy and funding. Papers should be written in a style that is accessible to those outside the field, as the readership will include - in addition to chemists - biologists, toxicologists, soil scientists, and workers from government and industrial institutions. All manuscripts are rigorously peer-reviewed and professionally copy-edited. Environmental Chemistry is published with the endorsement of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) and the Australian Academy of Science.
