Looking at suspended solids to measure nanoplastic

Nature Water 2024
Shannon L. Bartelt‐Hunt

Summary

Researchers found that levels of total suspended solids in wastewater effluents correlate with nanoplastic concentrations, suggesting that standard suspended-solids measurements could offer a simple and inexpensive way to estimate nanoplastic pollution in water without specialized equipment.

Study Type Environmental

Correlation between total suspended solids and plastic nanoparticles suggests a simple approach to measure the amount of nanoplastic in wastewater effluents.
