Abstract

The accumulation of Microplastics (MP) in the environment is continuous and persistent, posing a concern for potential adverse effects on biota. Since environmental MPs can carry considerable amounts of diverse substances (co-contaminants), the combined exposure to MPs and other contaminants represents one of the most important aspects. The presence of a biofilm on MPs surface can potentially change co-contaminant bioavailability to organisms. The aim of this technical report is to provide the method to create a biofilm on the microplastic surface in order to carry out mesocosm experiments useful to evaluate microplastic-associated biofilm influence on the bioavailability of contaminants to model organisms.
