Summary

Researchers evaluated how well a wastewater treatment plant at a Vietnamese paper factory removes microplastics, adding to a sparse body of data on industrial plant performance — findings that matter because treated industrial wastewater is a direct pathway for microplastics to enter rivers and coastal waters.

Study Type Environmental

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are one of the critical sinks and sources of microplastics in the environment. Previous studies in Vietnam mainly examined combined treatment plants and centralized plants at industrial zones and lacked data on microplastics in...
