Microplastic as a Vector of Metformin: Influence of Aging on Adsorption and Desorption Properties

Environmental Quality Management, Volume 35, Issue 4, Summer 2026.
ABSTRACT This study investigated how ultraviolet aging alters the physicochemical properties of polyethylene microplastics and affects the adsorption and desorption of metformin in water. Virgin polyethylene microspheres (PMP) were irradiated for 30 (MP30) and 120 (MP120) days to simulate environmental weathering. Aging caused evident surface cracking,
