Scientists Are Building Better PET Nanoplastic Standards — Starting With Bottled Water

Scientists Are Building Better PET Nanoplastic ...

JRC/EC-linked researchers describe tunable KOH aging of cryo-milled PET to produce a realistic 0.2–1.2 µm nanoplastic fraction — with 68±13% mass recovery from spiked bottled drinking water.
