Methods and Techniques for Microplastic Detection and Identification in Water and Wastewater—A Methodology Review
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers review analytical methods and techniques for detecting and identifying microplastics in water and wastewater, addressing how contamination of this critical resource threatens food supply safety and human health through both point-source and diffuse pollution pathways.
Water as a main resource of the food supply is decreasing in quantity and quality, thus exposing to danger human health. Urban and industrial wastewaters coming to the receiving environment in river basins create point source pollution, while agricultural fertilizer...
