Summary
Researchers reviewed the removal of inorganic nanoparticles and nanoplastics during conventional drinking water treatment, finding that coagulation/flocculation/sedimentation and sand/granular activated carbon filtration can substantially reduce nanoparticle concentrations but with variable efficiency depending on particle type.
Study Type
Environmental
Nanoparticles, such as metallic ones like Ag, Au and TiO 2 as well as nanoplastics, are applied in or emitted by a wide variety of products or stem from degradation.
