Greener Technologies for Establishing Restraint Over Microplastic Pollution
AI summary Read the abstract
This review surveys greener technologies for controlling microplastic pollution, covering the diverse forms MPs take across ecosystems and emerging strategies for their reduction and remediation. Developing scalable, environmentally friendly MP remediation technologies is urgent given that MPs smaller than 5 mm have now penetrated virtually every ecosystem on Earth, from deep ocean sediments to human blood.
Microplastics (MPs), typically smaller than 5 millimeters, are found in many ecosystems, posing a major environmental threat. Small beads, tiny fibers, and shards are just a few of the different forms that MPs may acquire. Globally, MPs have been observed in several...
