Adsorption of a diverse range of pharmaceuticals to polyethylene microplastics in wastewater and their desorption in environmental matrices

Louise McDougall et al.

Summary: The study revealed that pharmaceuticals in cationic form with greater hydrophobicity are more likely to adsorb to microplastics in municipal wastewater. Despite being bioavailable to aquatic organisms, pharmaceuticals adsorbed to microplastics are often overlooked as an exposure route due to pre-filtration of water samples before chemical analysis.
