Summary

This review evaluates current methods for breaking down nanoplastics in water, including ozonation, electrochemical treatment, photocatalysis, and plasma-based processes. Researchers found that while these advanced oxidation techniques show promise, significant gaps remain in treating plastic particles smaller than one micrometer. The study highlights the urgent need for better analytical methods and more effective treatment technologies to address nanoplastic pollution in water sources.

The proliferation of plastic production has led to a surge in nanoplastic (NPs) pollution, posing significant environmental and health risks. Despite efforts to mitigate plastic waste, NPs persist as a significant challenge due to their small size, high surface-to-volume ratio, and complex nature. This review analyzes existing research on advanced oxidation processes, focused exclusively on NPs remediation, including ozonation, electrochemical, photocatalytic, and plasma-induced processes. Gaps in the development of effective processes and analytical methods for the treatment of such plastic particles with sizes lower than 1 µm are highlighted, and future directions are suggested. This study aims to improve understanding and support sustainable solutions for the remediation of NPs from contaminated water sources, in alingment with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal 6.
