UV exposure to PET microplastics increases their downward mobility in stormwater biofilters undergoing freeze–thaw cycles

Abstract

An increase in microplastic weathering under UV lights decreases their surface hydrophilicity by the formation of polar groups and increases their mobility in the stormwater biofilter under freeze–thaw cycles.
