AB  - Plastic debris has become an environmental problem during recent years. Among the 
      plastic debris, microplastics (<5 mm; MPLs) imply an extra problem due to their 
      capacity to enter into the fauna through ingestion. In this work, we study the 
      capacity of three MPLs, that include high-density polyethylene (HDPE), 
      polystyrene (PS) and polystyrene carboxylate (PS-COOH), to sorb 18 perfluoroalkyl 
      substances (PFASs; including carboxylic acids, sulphonates and one sulphonamide) 
      from the surrounding waters (freshwater and seawater). Conclusions drawn from the 
      results are that perfluoro sulphonates and sulphonamides have more tendency to be 
      sorbed onto MPLs. In addition, PS and PS-COOH have more affinity for PFASs than 
      HDPE. Finally, the increment of conductivity and pH of the water decreases the 
      exposure time that is necessary to reach equilibrium. However, the presence of 
      salts decreases the tendency of PFASs to be sorbed onto plastic surfaces. These 
      results highlight the problem associated with the presence of MPLs in inland and 
      marine waters since toxic compounds can be sorbed onto surrounding plastics that 
      could be ingested by aquatic fauna.
