Summary

This study explored biotechnological approaches—including microbial degradation and biofilm-assisted filtration—to mitigate microplastic contamination in water systems, proposing combined biological and engineering strategies for more effective remediation. Risk management strategies for volatile organic compound co-pollution were also assessed.

Microplastic pollution has emerged as a critical environmental issue, posing significant threats to aquatic ecosystems and human health. As an innovative approach, biological techniques have shown great potential in mitigating microplastic contamination in water systems. This study explores the use of biotechnological methods, such as microbial degradation and biofilm-assisted filtration, in combination with conventional water treatment processes to enhance the removal of microplastics. Focusing on Southwest China, where water pollution is exacerbated by rapid urbanization and industrial activities, the research identifies the ecological and technical challenges unique to this region. Experimental approaches include optimizing bio-coagulation using microbial consortia, assessing enzymatic degradation of common microplastic polymers, and evaluating the biomechanical interactions between biological agents and microplastic particles during water filtration. Results aim to provide insights into the efficacy and scalability of integrating biological solutions into existing water treatment frameworks. This study contributes to developing sustainable and eco-friendly strategies for addressing microplastic pollution and safeguarding water quality through biologically informed interventions.
