Abstract in brief

  • Microplastics (MPs) in the oceans are a widespread pollutant that threaten marine life, prompting extensive biological and ecological research.
  • The characteristics of the plastic polymers that make up MPs influence their creation, breakdown, and ability to absorb harmful organic pollutants, but these physicochemical traits have been less studied.
  • The review also discusses how microplastics break down into smaller particles through fragmentation, possibly via a surface ablation process, which affects their ecological impact.]
