Summary

Researchers characterized the abundance, shape, and type of microplastics in the wastewater treatment plant units of two residential flat complexes in Surabaya, Indonesia. The findings reveal gaps in municipal wastewater infrastructure's ability to capture microplastics, highlighting pathways through which residential plastic waste enters broader water systems.
