Occurrence and Distribution Characteristics of Microplastics in Surface Water of China: a Review
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers synthesized the literature on microplastic occurrence and distribution in Chinese surface waters, finding mean river concentrations ranging from 0.57 to 930 particles per liter, with fibers and sub-millimeter particles predominating and polypropylene and polyethylene as the most common polymers. As Chinese cities increasingly rely on surface water as drinking water sources, the high and variable microplastic loads documented across river and lake systems represent a direct human exposure pathway demanding stronger pollution monitoring and control.
Investigation of Microplastics in Water and Wastewater: A Review
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed the occurrence and detection of microplastics across water and wastewater systems, summarizing contamination levels in different water sources and treatment stages while identifying gaps in sampling and analytical methods that limit understanding of how microplastics cycle through aquatic environments.
Characteristics of Microplastics Content and Estimation of Microplastics Outflow in G City Sewage Treatment Plant
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers analyzed microplastics at every stage of a sewage treatment plant, finding that while 97.8% of incoming particles were removed, billions of microplastics still escaped into the river daily and millions more were recycled back into the environment through sewage sludge used as fertilizer.
Methods and Techniques for Microplastic Detection and Identification in Water and Wastewater—A Methodology Review
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers review analytical methods and techniques for detecting and identifying microplastics in water and wastewater, addressing how contamination of this critical resource threatens food supply safety and human health through both point-source and diffuse pollution pathways.
Characteristics of microplastics distribution at water treatment plants
AI summary Read the abstract
Three water treatment plants in South Korea's Jeju Province contained microplastics in raw water at 0.075–0.620 MP/L, with particles smaller than 50 µm comprising the majority and polypropylene as the dominant polymer; conventional sedimentation and rapid filtration achieved the highest removal efficiency at 93.5%. Continuous monitoring of drinking water treatment performance against sub-100-µm particles is critical, as these smallest fractions pose the greatest ingestion risk and are hardest to capture.
