The principal goal of the project is to characterize the adsorption of organic materials on plastic surfaces as a function of particle size. The microplastic particles will be synthesized and size fractioned. The shape and surface morphology of the microplastics will be characterized using Scanning Electron Microscopy. Organic adsorption isotherms on PET, PP, and PVC will be investigated in model freshwater and will be analyzed using fluorescence spectroscopy.
