Summary
Researchers reviewed photocatalytic degradation as a promising approach for breaking down microplastics in the environment, finding it may offer advantages over incineration and filtration — though practical challenges around scale and efficiency remain.
Microplastic pollution is reported as an emerging environmental pollutant that needs a promising solution because of its uncontrolled occurrence, distribution, non-visibility, and long lifetime. Different methods were tested such as incineration, filtration,...
