Biochemodynamic Features of Metal Ions Bound by Micro- and Nano-Plastics in Aquatic Media

A simple model, based on spherical geometry, is applied to the description of release kinetics of metal species from nano- and micro-plastic particles. Compiled literature data show that the effective diffusion coefficients, Deff, for metal species within plastic polymer bodies are many orders of ma...
