Abstract Recently, there has been significant focus on microplastics in the environment, especially regarding their role in sorption–desorption processes of emerging contaminants, impacting pollutant migration between aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Notably, the newest pollutants in such environments are the herbicide formulations known as ionic liquids (ILs), which integrate the structure of classic herbicidal anion with surface-active cations acting as an adjuvant. In our study, we synthesized herbicidal ILs by combining 2,4-D anion with cetyltrimethylammonium [CTA] and didecyldimethylammonium [DDA] cations. We investigated whether ILs and the mixture of salts, when exposed to polyethylene (PE) microplastics, differ in properties. We analyzed their sorption on defined PE particles, evaluated toxicity on Pseudomonas putida KT2440 using trans/cis ratio of unsaturated fatty acids, and assessed biodegradability with OECD 301F standard test. Results indicate IL cations and anions behave as distinct entities, questioning IL synthesis feasibility. Hydrophobic adjuvants were found to adsorb onto PE microplastic surfaces (5–60% [CTA] > [DDA]), posing potential threats of surface-active xenobiotic accumulation. This highlights the need to explore microplastics’ role as sorbents of hazardous adjuvants in agriculture, potentially competing with humic acids and affecting xenobiotic bioavailability. Consequently, xenobiotics may persist longer in the environment, facilitated by microplastic mobility between aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems.
