Abstract Microplastics represent a novel category of environmental pollutants, and understanding their interactions with typical xenobiotics is crucial. In this study, we investigated the impact of ionic liquids (ILs) containing herbicidal anions, namely glyphosate [Glyph] and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetate [2,4-D], and the surfactant cation - dodecyltrimethylammonium [C12TMA] on acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) microplastics. The aim of the study was to assess the sorption capacity of microplastics that were present in both untreated and aged form using standard and modified Fenton methods. In addition, impact on toxicity and stress adaptation of the model soil bacterium Pseudomonas putida KT2440 was measured. Upon ageing, ABS microplastics underwent a fivefold increase in BET surface area and total pore volume (from 0.001 to 0.004 cm3/g) which lead to a dramatic increase in adsorption of the cations on ABS microplastics from 40-45% for virgin ABS to 75-80% for aged ABS. Toxicity was mainly attributed to hydrophobic cations in ILs (EC50 ∼ 60-65 mg/dm3), which was also mitigated by sorption on ABS. Furthermore, both cations and anions behaved similarly across different ILs, corresponding chlorides, and substrates used in the ILs synthesis. These findings highlight microplastics potential as hazardous sorbents, contributing to the accumulation of xenobiotics in the environment.
