Besides, the potential joint risks of microplastics and contaminants on organisms, humans, and the environment are elaborated. Finally, some recommendations for further research are proposed to assess the potential risk of MPs and contaminants in the ecosystem.

Abstract:

This chapter aims to review recent studies regarding the interaction behavior of microplastics and environmental contaminants in aquatic systems and their potential threats to ecosystems. Firstly, the adsorption behavior of microplastics and environmental contaminants (including antibiotics, heavy metals, and organic compounds) is summarized, and the role of microplastics on selective enrichment of antibiotic resistance bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) was elaborated. Then, the associated influencing factors of interaction behavior (e.g., pH, temperature, salinity, and aging/weathering processes) are summarized. Besides, the potential joint risks of microplastics and contaminants on organisms, humans, and the environment are elaborated. Finally, some recommendations for further research are proposed to assess the potential risk of MPs and contaminants in the ecosystem.
