Original Abstract
Due to the superior properties of plastics, such as low cost, light weight, durability, waterproof, etc., plastic production has been growing rapidly for application in agriculture, industry, packaging or medical treatment. Plastics accumulate in the environment due to their durability, improper disposal of plastic waste, and widespread use of plastic products [2]. In the environment, larger plastic fragments (macroplastics) are gradually broken down due to weathering, degradation, and microbial-mediated factors, into small plastic particles – microplastics [3]. Microplastics can be defined as solid synthetic particles or polymer matrices with regular or irregular shape and with a size in the range of 1 µm to 5 mm. These particles are insoluble in water.
