Removal Strategies for Aquatic Microplastics

2023 1 citation

AI summary Read the abstract

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...

Issues of Microplastics and Sustainable Removal Techniques

AI summary Read the abstract

Researchers reviewed the distribution of microplastics across environmental compartments and assessed sustainable removal techniques including filtration, bioremediation, and advanced oxidation processes. Because microplastics persist ubiquitously in air, water, soil, and food, no single removal method is sufficient — this review frames the scale of the challenge and the need for integrated, multi-stage mitigation strategies.
