Current research trends on microplastic pollution from wastewater systems: a critical review
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed how microplastics enter, move through, and exit wastewater treatment plants, finding that while larger microplastics are often removed, very small particles under 100 micrometers frequently escape into waterways, and advanced treatment methods like membrane bioreactors may be needed to close this gap.
Microplastic Pollution: Review of Degradation, Detection, and Treatment Technologies
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed the origins, degradation pathways, detection methods, and treatment technologies for microplastics, finding that their persistence and bioaccumulation potential make them a significant threat to ecosystems and human health requiring multifaceted remediation approaches.
A Review on Microplastics Migration from Sources Through Wastewater to the Environments: Classifications, Impacts and Removal Techniques
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed how microplastics travel from various sources through wastewater systems and ultimately into the environment, summarizing the health and ecological impacts of these tiny particles and evaluating available removal strategies.
Pollution Status of Microplastics in Water Environment and Research Progress of Related Treatment Technologies
AI summary Read the abstract
This review surveys the distribution of microplastics across water environments and critically evaluates detection and treatment technologies available for their removal. Understanding the current landscape of water treatment options is essential because conventional infrastructure fails to fully intercept microplastics, allowing particles — and their adsorbed chemical contaminants — to reach drinking water supplies and human consumers.
Wastewater as a Source of Microplastic Pollution: Fate and Risk on Biota
AI summary Read the abstract
This review examined wastewater as a primary pathway for microplastic entry into the environment, assessing the fate of particles through treatment systems and the ecological and health risks they pose to biota after discharge. Wastewater effluent and biosolid land application together represent two of the most direct routes by which MNPs reach agricultural soils and drinking water sources, making treatment plant performance central to human exposure reduction.
