Micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) are attracting increasing attention due to their persistence potential ecological risks. This review critically summarizes the effects of photo-oxidation on physical, chemical, biological behaviors MNPs in aquatic terrestrial environments. The core this paper explores how photo-oxidation-induced surface property changes affect adsorption toward contaminants, stability mobility water porous media, as well transport pollutants such organic (OPs) heavy metals (HMs). It then reviews photochemical processes with coexisting constituents, highlighting critical factors affecting MNPs, contribution phototransformation other contaminants. distinct mechanism aged pointed out, terms toxicity organisms, biofilm formation, planktonic microbial growth, soil sediment community function. Furthermore, research gaps perspectives put forward, regarding underlying interaction mechanisms natural constituents under conditions, combined fate microbiological effect photoaged especially biotransformation pollutants.
