Summary
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.
Study Type
Environmental
Non-renewable microplastics are tiny (< 5 mm) synthetic polymer particles essentially of carbon and hydrogen atoms that resulted from fragmentation, degradation or production of plastic materials. These particles are emerging as worldwide pollutants with...
