Summary

This book examines how microplastics move through wastewater treatment systems, covering sources, treatment technologies, system-specific factors, and future challenges for improving removal efficiency. Understanding the fate of microplastics in wastewater infrastructure is critical because treatment plants simultaneously serve as a primary barrier against and a significant ongoing source of microplastic discharge into aquatic environments.
