Rekha Mithal, Amit Mithal, Arin Jain, Anuj Kumar

Summary

This review summarizes current knowledge on microplastic sources, occurrence, removal efficiency, and potential consequences in wastewater treatment plants. The authors identify significant knowledge gaps regarding microplastic impacts on treatment processes and the environment, highlighting the need for further research to fully understand and mitigate this emerging concern.

Study Type Environmental

Microplastics in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) have become a growing concern in recent years due to their persistence in the environment and potential harm to human health and wildlife.The presence of Microplastics in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) is increasingly recognized, and this review paper summarizes the current state of knowledge on Microplastics in (WWTPs), including their sources, occurrence, removal efficiency, and potential consequences.The paper highlights the need for further research to fully understand the impact of Microplastics on (WWTPs) and the environment.
