Summary

Researchers analyzed microplastic contamination in drinking water from an Italian treatment plant that processes turbid surface river water through sedimentation, flocculation, sand filtration, activated carbon adsorption, and disinfection, collecting 1-2.5 liter samples in dark glass bottles for analysis. The study characterized particle types, sizes, and polymer composition at the plant outlet to assess treatment efficacy and residual microplastic levels in finished drinking water.

Study Type Environmental

In this work, microplastics in drinking water from a water treatment plant were analyzed. The plant treats surface water from a River in the north of Italy. River water is utilized to supplement groundwater as drinking water during periods of high demand when groundwater alone is insufficient to meet the needs of the population. The water that enters the plant is turbid and rich in inert or organic impurities and undergoes chemically and physically treatments, including sedimentation, flocculation and clarification, sand filtration, adsorption on activated carbon and disinfection. The water at the outlet of the plant was collected by plant technicians at two sampling points and was collected in dark glass bottles with a volume of 1 or 2.5 liters.
