Technological Advancements in Microplastic Waste Management

2025

AI summary Read the abstract

This review surveys recent technological advances in microplastic waste management, covering detection, filtration, degradation, and removal strategies across water, soil, and air environments. Effective management technologies are urgently needed given that microplastics have now been detected in human blood, lungs, and placentas, making containment and removal a direct public health priority.

Microplastics (MPs), originating from the breakdown of larger plastic materials (with a size of less than 5 mm) or as primary synthetic particles, represent a pressing global environmental concern due to their persistence, ubiquity, and complex interactions with...

Issues of Microplastics and Sustainable Removal Techniques

AI summary Read the abstract

Researchers reviewed the distribution of microplastics across environmental compartments and assessed sustainable removal techniques including filtration, bioremediation, and advanced oxidation processes. Because microplastics persist ubiquitously in air, water, soil, and food, no single removal method is sufficient — this review frames the scale of the challenge and the need for integrated, multi-stage mitigation strategies.
