Effects And Treatment Methods of Microplastics in Wastewater Treatment Plants
Original title: Effects And Treatment Methods of Microplastics in Wastewater Treatment Plants
AI summary Read the abstract
This Turkish-language review article summarizes the effects of microplastics in wastewater treatment plants and the various treatment methods used to remove them. It covers the sources of microplastic input to wastewater, their removal efficiency across different treatment stages, and the fate of microplastics in treated effluents and sludge.
Mikroplastikler günlük hayatta sıklıklar kullandığımız ve çevreye yayılması kaçınılmaz olan kimyasallardır. Genel olarak 5 milimetreden küçük plastik parçaları mikroplastik olarak tanımlanır. Günümüzde mikroplastik kirliliği kaynaklarının çok fazla olması, kalıcı oluşu ve hem ekosistem hem de insan sağlığına toksik etkileri nedeniyle giderek daha fazla ilgili çekmektedir. Günlük hayat sırasında ve endüstriyel faaliyetler sonucunda ortaya çıkan mikroplastikler kolaylıkla atıksu arıtma tesislerine ulaşabilmektedir. Mikroplastikler, atıksu arıtma tesislerinin verimliliğini azaltır ve çamur hacmini arttırır. Mikrobiyal aktiviteyi olumsuz yönde etkileyebilir. Bu derleme mikroplastiklerin kentsel atıksu arıtma tesislerine etkileri, arıtma yöntemleri ve ileri arıtım yöntemleri ile giderilebilirliğini değerlendirmektedir.

Presence of Microplastic in Erzurum Urban Wastewater Treatment Plant
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers investigated microplastic presence at the inlet and outlet of the Erzurum Urban Wastewater Treatment Plant in Turkey, finding average concentrations of 36,400 MP/m3 in influent and 2,875 MP/m3 in effluent. Tertiary treatment achieved over 90% removal efficiency, while primary and secondary treatment alone proved insufficient for effective microplastic removal.

AI summary Read the abstract
This review examines microplastic sources, properties, removal efficiency, and removal mechanisms across different wastewater treatment plant stages. Researchers found that while treatment plants remove a significant portion of microplastics, they cannot eliminate them entirely, resulting in the continued release of millions of particles into the environment daily through effluent and sludge.
Microplastics in Wastewater Treatment Plants: Characteristics, Occurrence and Removal Technologies
AI summary Read the abstract
This review summarizes how wastewater treatment plants are a major pathway for microplastics entering the environment, covering the types, sizes, and sources of microplastics found in wastewater. While treatment plants can remove many microplastics, significant amounts still escape into rivers and oceans through treated water and sludge. The authors evaluate various removal technologies and recommend advanced treatment methods to better prevent microplastics from reaching water supplies.
