Summary

Researchers reviewed current physical, chemical, and biological techniques for removing microplastics from aquatic environments, evaluating their efficiency, scalability, and practical limitations. Identifying the most effective removal strategies is essential for protecting both aquatic ecosystems and human health, since waterways are a primary route through which microplastics enter drinking water and the food chain.

The ubiquitous plastic waste results in a growing concern for environmental pollution about aquatic microplastics (MPs). It calls for efficient removal strategies for MPs from aquatic environments. Researchers have developed various techniques to separate MPs...
