Navigating Microplastic Challenges: Separation and Detection Strategies in Wastewater Treatment
Summary
This review analyzes the separation and detection strategies used within wastewater treatment plants to address microplastic pollution, highlighting the technical limitations that allow substantial amounts of microplastics to pass through into receiving water bodies. Because wastewater treatment plants are the last line of defense before microplastics enter rivers, lakes, and ultimately drinking water, improving their removal efficiency is directly linked to reducing human microplastic exposure.
Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) function as primary receptors of microplastics (MPs), playing a key role in managing these pollutants within wastewater streams. Despite their essential function, WWTPs face limitations in effectively removing MPs from wastewater,...
