Summary
Using chlorine and UV/hydrogen peroxide at dosages realistic for actual drinking water treatment plants, this study assessed whether standard disinfection processes alter microplastics in tap water. The work addresses a critical public health question — whether the water treatment people rely on to make tap water safe actually removes or changes the microplastics that have been detected in treated drinking water.
Study Type
Environmental
Limited studies to-date have assessed the impacts of disinfectants (chlorine and ultraviolet (UV)/H 2 O 2 ) on microplastics (MPs), with most employing dosages and fluences that are much higher than typically applied during drinking water treatment.
