Unexpected mitigation of microplastic-induced nitrification inhibition by sulfamethoxazole: The pivotal roles of polymer aging and microbial metabolic shifts.

Microplastics (MPs) and antibiotics are ubiquitous emerging co-contaminants in wastewaters, yet how microplastic aging modulates their combined toxicity to biological nitrification remains poorly defined. This limits accurate risk assessment of MPs in biological treatment systems. Here, metagenomic sequencing was used...
