Summary
The interaction between microplastics (MPs) and pollutants is crucial for assessing the environmental risk of MPs. It is necessary to pay attention to the adsorption/desorption behavior of antibiotics on MPs due to their potential role in antibiotic resistance. When MPs-loaded antibiotics are ingested by organisms, they enter the gastrointestinal tract and undergo desorption, leading to corresponding toxic effects. Existing literature primarily focuses on the adsorption behavior, while there is a lack of systematic generalizations on desorption behavior or the combined toxic effects on organisms. Therefore, this article provides a systematic review of the desorption behavior, mechanisms, and potential effects of MPs-loaded antibiotics in the biological gastrointestinal tract. Desorption be
