Issues of Microplastics and Sustainable Removal Techniques
Summary
Researchers reviewed the distribution of microplastics across environmental compartments and assessed sustainable removal techniques including filtration, bioremediation, and advanced oxidation processes. Because microplastics persist ubiquitously in air, water, soil, and food, no single removal method is sufficient — this review frames the scale of the challenge and the need for integrated, multi-stage mitigation strategies.
Plastics in the form of fibers, fragments or beads smaller than 5 mm in size are of increasing concern. These are called microplastics. Microplastics are considered generalized pollutants that are present in practically all environmental compartments, especially...
