Hydrolysis is an abiotic process that is crucial for the fate of many water-soluble substances in an aquatic environment. The ability of chemicals to undergo hydrolysis is currently tested in purified lab water in accordance with OECD guideline 111. It has been suggested that the addition of particles such as sediment or microplastic fibers may result in a change in the rate of hydrolysis or in the formation of different transformation products. This study therefore tested the hydrolysis of three environmen-tally relevant compounds with and without addition of microplastic, sediment, or humic acids.
