Summary

Researchers reviewed the use of microalgae to remove microplastics from wastewater, examining how these organisms can capture plastic particles smaller than 5 mm while offering a biologically based treatment strategy for emerging contaminants found even in the human body.

Body Systems

Microplastics are plastic particles with a size smaller than 5 mm. They have been identified in various environments, even in the human body. They are evaluated as emerging contaminants since they possess several health risks from DNA damage to inflammation....
