My research interests focus on the degradation processes of micro- and nanoplastics, their interactions with other contaminants, and the sorption mechanisms of organic pollutants onto micro- and nanoplastic particles across environmental compartments (water, soil, and atmosphere). I am particularly interested in evaluating their impact on environmental health, enhancing our understanding of exposure levels, and developing effective remediation strategies against micro- and nanoplastic pollution.
