Microplastic Toxicity and Water Treatment Methods
AI summary Read the abstract
This review assesses the current state of microplastic contamination, examining pathways of environmental entry and interactions with living organisms, and analyzes existing water treatment methods -- including filtration, coagulation, and advanced oxidation -- considered most promising for partial or complete microplastic removal.
В статье оценено влияние частиц микропластика в настоящее время, пути его попадания в окружающую среду, способы его взаимодействия с живыми организмы. Проанализированы существующие методы частичной или полной очистки воды от него, которые на данный момент считаются достаточно перспективными. The article assessed the impact of microplastic particles at the present time, the ways it enters the environment, the routs it interacts with living organisms. Existing methods have been analyzed for partial or complete purification of water from it, which at the moment are considered quite promising.

Removal of microplastics in unit processes used in water and wastewater treatment: a review
AI summary Read the abstract
This review evaluates various water and wastewater treatment technologies for their ability to remove microplastics, including filtration, coagulation, and advanced oxidation methods. The authors found that while conventional treatment plants can remove a large percentage of microplastics, significant quantities still pass through into treated water. The study calls for combining multiple treatment steps and developing new technologies specifically designed to capture micro- and nanoplastic particles.
