Microplastics in Water: Occurrence, Environmental Effects, and Removal Methods
Summary
Researchers reviewed the sources, environmental effects, and removal methods for microplastics in water, finding these contaminants are widespread across drinking water, rivers, and oceans, and that current water treatment technologies are only partially effective at removing them before they reach people.
Microplastics, a group of contaminants, have recently been recognised as significant water pollutants with the potential to have adverse effects on both human health and the environment. The lack of sufficient analytical tools is the main challenge for microplastic...
