Photocatalytic Degradation of Plastic [PDF]
, 2021 Due to rapid growth and modernization, the consumption of plastic has increased rapidly. However, due to the non-biodegradable nature of plastics, its management and disposal have become an environmental concern. The majority of plastics end up in landfill sites or oceans through rivers which is a threat to the marine ecosystem.

Photocatalytic Degradation of Plastic Waste: A Mini Review [PDF]
Micromachines, 2021 Plastic waste becomes an immediate threat to our society with ever-increasing negative impacts on our environment and health by entering our food chain. Sunlight is known to be the natural energy source that degrades plastic waste at a very slow rate. Mimicking the role of sunlight, the photocatalytic degradation process could significantly accelerate ...

Photocatalytic Degradation of Microplastics: Parameters Affecting Degradation
Advances in Environmental and Engineering Research, 2023 Recently, microplastics have emerged as a major environmental pollutant and have been documented globally. Several studies have shown that microplastics can accumulate heavy metals and persistent organic pollutants as they pass through the environment due to their functional groups interacting with and complex these substances.
