Green Treatment Technologies for Microplastic Pollution
AI summary Read the abstract
Green treatment technologies including biochar adsorption, phytoremediation, and microbial degradation offer sustainable alternatives to chemical-intensive approaches for removing microplastics from water and soil. Scaling these eco-friendly methods is essential to reducing microplastic loads in drinking water and agricultural systems without generating secondary chemical pollution.
In the current situation, to tackle global climate change and minimize plastic pollution, many countries are enacting policies and strict rules on the usage and alternatives of plastics. As a result, understanding the mechanisms of microplastic release into...

Impacts of Microplastic Pollution on the Environment and its Effective Treatment – A Review
AI summary Read the abstract
This review synthesizes the environmental and health impacts of microplastics, covering their accumulation in human and animal bodies, disruption of aquatic food chains, and role as toxin carriers enabling biomagnification, while evaluating removal technologies including membrane filtration, electrocoagulation, and AI-augmented approaches. The comprehensive scope underscores that existing waste management strategies are insufficient and that advanced detection and removal systems will be essential to meaningfully reduce MP exposure risks to humans and ecosystems.
Greener Technologies for Establishing Restraint Over Microplastic Pollution
AI summary Read the abstract
This review surveys greener technologies for controlling microplastic pollution, covering the diverse forms MPs take across ecosystems and emerging strategies for their reduction and remediation. Developing scalable, environmentally friendly MP remediation technologies is urgent given that MPs smaller than 5 mm have now penetrated virtually every ecosystem on Earth, from deep ocean sediments to human blood.
Pollution Status of Microplastics in Water Environment and Research Progress of Related Treatment Technologies
AI summary Read the abstract
This review surveys the distribution of microplastics across water environments and critically evaluates detection and treatment technologies available for their removal. Understanding the current landscape of water treatment options is essential because conventional infrastructure fails to fully intercept microplastics, allowing particles — and their adsorbed chemical contaminants — to reach drinking water supplies and human consumers.
