The Nexus Between the Transport Mechanisms and Remediation Techniques of Microplastics
Summary
This review synthesized current knowledge on how microplastics move through environmental compartments — via wind, water currents, biological vectors, and soil leaching — and paired each transport mechanism with applicable remediation techniques such as filtration, bioremediation, and electrocoagulation. Matching removal strategies to specific transport pathways is critical for designing effective interventions that intercept microplastics before they reach food systems and human bodies.
Microplastic (MP) transport mechanisms refer to the pathways through which MPs migrate within the environment, while MP remediation techniques encompass methods employed to mitigate their presence. Despite prior research efforts investigating various aspects of MPs,...
