Abstract:: ... Biodegradable plastics (BPs) have been used to replace conventional plastics owing to their environmental harmless and ease of degradation. However, the aging processes of BPs in different environments remain unclear. In this study, we used poly (lactic acid)/poly (butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PLA/PBAT) films as model BPs and investigated the 30-d aging behavior of PLA/PBAT films under four ...

ISSN:: 0048-9697
Subject:: aerosols; air; environment; models; ozone; photolysis; China
Abstract:: ... The impact of aerosols on ozone via influencing photolysis rates is a combined effect of absorbing aerosols (AA) and scattering aerosols (SA). However, AA and SA show different optical properties and influence photolysis rates differently, which then cause different impacts on ozone. Till now, the dominate factor is disconfirmed, which is largely due to the impact of SA on ozone not reaching to a ...
