Summary

Researchers examined how microplastics — plastic fragments smaller than 5 mm — enter the environment through decomposition of larger plastics and direct discharge of microbeads, and assessed available removal technologies alongside the associated risks to ecosystems and human health.

Mircoplastics (MP) are fragments of plastic that are smaller than 5 µm and are the product of the decomposition of larger plastic items or the direct discharge of smaller plastic particles, such as microbeads from personal care products, into the...
