Summary

Researchers developed an enrichment protocol to concentrate and recover microplastics from drinking water treatment sludge, where up to 93% of influent microplastics are captured during treatment but where analysis of the resulting sludge has remained methodologically challenging. The study established extraction and detection procedures to quantify microplastics in this concentrated waste matrix, enabling better characterisation of the fate of removed particles.

Study Type Environmental

Previous studies illustrate a removal of microplastics (MP) during drinking water treatment by up to 93 Also see: https://micro2024.sciencesconf.org/558679/document
