AB  - Microplastics have the potential to uptake and release persistent organic 
      pollutants (POPs); however, subsequent transfer to marine organisms is poorly 
      understood. Some models estimating transfer of sorbed contaminants to organisms 
      neglect the role of gut surfactants under differing physiological conditions in 
      the gut (varying pH and temperature), examined here. We investigated the 
      potential for polyvinylchloride (PVC) and polyethylene (PE) to sorb and desorb 
      (14)C-DDT, (14)C-phenanthrene (Phe), (14)C-perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and 
      (14)C-di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP). Desorption rates of POPs were quantified 
      in seawater and under simulated gut conditions. Influence of pH and temperature 
      was examined in order to represent cold and warm blooded organisms. Desorption 
      rates were faster with gut surfactant, with a further substantial increase under 
      conditions simulating warm blooded organisms. Desorption under gut conditions 
      could be up to 30 times greater than in seawater alone. Of the POP/plastic 
      combinations examined Phe with PE gave the highest potential for transport to 
      organisms.
