Summary

This chapter reviews emerging trends in microplastic removal technologies, covering the role of particle size in determining bioaccumulation and toxicity, and evaluating current and future methods for addressing the global microplastic pollution problem.

Study Type Environmental

The widespread presence of microplastics (MPs) in the environment has become a pressing environmental concern globally. MPs are plastic granules or pellets that can form intentionally or unintentionally and are categorized based on their size, ranging from 0.1 to 5000 mm. The size of MPs plays a significant role in determining the toxicity of pollutants present in wastewater, as it affects the bioaccumulation , migration, and aggregation of organic material. The reliance of humans on plastics has resulted in a constant influx of MPs from various sources into the natural environment, leading to growing public concern about the potential impacts of these MPs on the natural environment. In this chapter, we aim to explore and analyze the potential future trends in MP removal.
