Summary

Researchers evaluate the effectiveness of wastewater treatment plants at removing microplastics from water, assessing how rising plastic production is driving increased microplastic concentrations in aquatic ecosystems and the limitations of current treatment infrastructure in addressing this persistent hazard.

Study Type Environmental

Microplastics (MPs) concentration in aquatic ecosystems rises as plastic manufacture rises year after year. MPs are a persistent and subtle environmental hazard that have already been linked to adverse effects on human health and aquatic environments. The objective...
