Stemming the microplastics tide

Filtration & Separation 2022

Summary

This review examines emerging filtration and remediation technologies being developed to reduce microplastic pollution in water systems, highlighting the context of recent findings detecting microplastics in human blood and deep lung tissue. Researchers surveyed multiple filtration approaches at various scales and found that no single technology yet provides a comprehensive solution for stemming the microplastics tide.

Recent research has found microplastics both in human blood and deep inside the lungs of living people. As scientists try to determine how exposure might affect human and marine life, we examine some of the developing filtration technologies fighting the tide of microplastics pollution.
