Summary

This review examined the use of advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) to degrade and remove microplastics from surface waters, ocean waters, soils, drinking water, and wastewater. AOPs represent a promising technological pathway for eliminating microplastics at treatment facilities, which is critical given that conventional systems fail to fully prevent microplastic entry into drinking water and food sources.

Study Type Environmental

Microplastics are widespread in the environment, which generates high concern worldwide. Microplastics have been found in superficial and ocean waters and soils, and consequently can occur in drinking water, urban wastewaters, and living organisms. Here we review...
