Summary

Researchers reviewed microplastic contamination in reservoirs — a major source of drinking water — examining how plastics enter and accumulate in these water bodies and what extraction and identification methods are most effective for monitoring plastic pollution at the water supply level.

Modern life’s dependence on plastic materials has led to increasing microplastics (MPs) contamination in the reservoir. The increasing abundance of MPs (usually of a size less than 5 mm) has instigated the scientific and management communities regarding...
