a Comparison of the Langmuir adsorption coefficients KL for selected MNPs and different PAHs (z-axis is expressed in logarithmic scale). Plots of log KMNP/w as functions of log Ko/w and molecular weight (Mol. Wt) for (b) PA-6_42, (c) LDPE_215 and (d) TPU_ester_arom, illustrating the correlation of sorption coefficients and hydrophobicity of the studied PAHs (log Ko/w: 4.45 (Anth), 6.05 (B[a]P), 7.71 (DB[a,l]P)
