Summary

Researchers reviewed the principles and methods used to remove microplastics from wastewater, evaluating the effectiveness of treatment approaches across domestic, industrial, and environmental discharge scenarios. Because wastewater treatment plants are a key pathway for microplastics entering aquatic environments, improving removal efficiencies is critical to reducing the downstream human and ecological exposure burden.

Study Type Environmental

Microplastics are ubiquitous and persistent smaller size polymer compounds, which has detrimental effects on the environment. Due to domestic, industrial, and environmental activities, a huge amount of microplastics have been discharged into wastewater treatment...
