Summary

Researchers investigated the occurrence and characteristics of microplastic particles in both karst and alluvial aquifer systems, examining how plastic particles migrate through these distinct subsurface geological environments. The study addressed a significant knowledge gap regarding groundwater contamination by microplastics in aquifers that differ in their hydrogeological properties and filtration capacity.

The growing production of plastic products and the lack of effective plastic waste management have led to the global problem of environmental pollution by polymers. Micro- ( Also see: https://micro2024.sciencesconf.org/559654/document
