Let Us Talk About Microplastic Pollution in Drinking Water Treatment

Lecture notes in civil engineering 2023
Jinkai Xue, Seyed Hesam‐Aldin Samaei, Jianfei Chen

Summary

Researchers examined microplastic contamination in drinking water treatment systems, reviewing how plastic particles enter drinking water supplies and evaluating the effectiveness of conventional treatment processes at removing microplastic beads, fibers, and fragments of varying sizes.

Study Type Environmental

Microplastic particles (MPs) have become interesting to the water research community and general public due to their global ubiquity and potential impacts on the environment and public health. MPs are plastic beads, fibers, and fragments in the micrometer size range...
