Summary

Researchers reviewed sustainable technologies for removing microplastics from pharmaceutical industrial wastewater before it enters rivers and ecosystems. Pharmaceutical manufacturing is a significant but often overlooked source of microplastic contamination, and treating this wastewater more effectively could reduce exposure in drinking water and aquatic food sources.

Study Type Environmental

Plastic with a size of less than 5 mm in all dimensions has been considered microplastic. Microplastic occurs in the soil, river water, seawater, sludge, and effluent discharges due to anthropogenic activities. Microplastics and pharmaceutical medications have been...
