Summary

Researchers evaluated how well wastewater treatment plants in Saskatchewan, Canada remove microplastics before releasing water back into the environment. Even plants that perform well still release measurable quantities of microplastics, meaning treated wastewater remains a significant pollution pathway into local rivers and lakes.

Study Type Environmental

Microplastics are an emerging challenge in wastewater treatment and reuse. Many studies have indicated that microplastics are widely existing in our environment. Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are a significant reservoir of microplastics in our natural...
