Innovative Intervention: Technologies to Tackle the Microplastic Pollution
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed innovative technological interventions for reducing microplastic pollution, examining approaches tied to consumer behavior and industrial activity and evaluating their potential to curb the release of plastic particles into the biosphere.
Microplastics (MPs) are a universal type of pollutants that harm the state of the biosphere and human health. Microplastics are often associated with consumer behavior and commercial activity, so steps must be taken to reduce the amount being released into the...
