Summary

Researchers applied a combination of complementary analytical techniques to achieve comprehensive microplastic characterization in sewage sludge samples, addressing the limitations of using single methods for such complex matrices. They found that more than 90% of microplastics entering wastewater treatment plants are retained in the resulting sludge, and that combining analytical approaches improved detection across size ranges and polymer types.

Study Type Environmental

Microplastics (MPs) are introduced into wastewater from different sources and more than 90 Also see: https://micro2024.sciencesconf.org/558811/document
