Summary

This review examined bioremediation strategies — using microorganisms, algae, and other biological agents — to remove microplastic contamination from urban aquatic environments including drinking water treatment plants. Bioremediation offers a potentially scalable, low-cost pathway to reducing the microplastic load in water systems before plastics reach tap water and human consumers.

Study Type Environmental

Microplastic is seen as an emerging contaminant that has had significant impacts on the aquatic environment. The urban area is one of the areas that suffer most from such impacts, since these structures have already been found in drinking water treatment plants and...
