Reconstructing the Environmental Degradation of Polystyrene by Accelerated Weathering

Nora Meides et al.

Summary: A long-term accelerated weathering study on polystyrene revealed that the degradation of microplastics proceeds in two main stages, with photooxidation dominating in the first stage and microcrack formation and particle rupturing accelerating degradation in the second stage.
