Microplastics in the aquatic environment are a growing concern due to their negative impacts on marine life and human health. With an estimated 2.7 million tonnes released annually—a figure expected to double by 2040—understanding the transport and fate of microplastics is crucial. These particles, ranging from a few microns to millimetres and composed of materials such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and nylon, present significant challenges for environmental scientists and engineers. This PhD ...
