Current Status and Future Perspectives of Microplastic Remediation Technologies in Wastewater Treatment Processes Using Bioflocculants
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers review the use of bioflocculants in wastewater treatment to remove microplastics, examining current technologies and their effectiveness, and identifying the small size and chemical complexity of microplastics as key challenges while pointing to bioflocculant-based approaches as a promising path forward for protecting aquatic ecosystems.
Bioremediation Strategies for Microplastic Removal in Impacted Aquatic Environments
AI summary Read the abstract
This review examined bioremediation strategies — using microorganisms, algae, and other biological agents — to remove microplastic contamination from urban aquatic environments including drinking water treatment plants. Bioremediation offers a potentially scalable, low-cost pathway to reducing the microplastic load in water systems before plastics reach tap water and human consumers.
A Review on Aquatic Impacts of Microplastics and Its Bioremediation Aspects
AI summary Read the abstract
Microplastics enter aquatic ecosystems through improper disposal, causing reduced feeding, lower fecundity, inflammation, and gene-level changes in aquatic organisms. Bacterial biodegradation shows promise as an eco-friendly remediation approach, as microbes can enzymatically break down plastic particles into carbon dioxide, methane, and water.
Microplastic Pollution: Harmful Effects and Possible Bioremediation Strategies
AI summary Read the abstract
This review examines the harmful effects of microplastic pollution on terrestrial and marine ecosystems and surveys potential bioremediation strategies — including microbial, phytoremediation, and combined approaches — for mitigating contamination. Given that microplastics persist indefinitely in the environment and accumulate in food webs, identifying effective bioremediation pathways is essential for reducing the chronic dietary and environmental exposure burden on human and animal populations.
Discussing Sources and Biological-Chemical Remediation Approaches for Microplastic Pollution
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed the major sources of microplastic pollution — including untreated plastic waste, single-use agriculture plastics, and everyday consumer products — and evaluated biological and chemical remediation strategies such as microbial degradation, enzyme treatment, and phytoremediation. Understanding these diverse pathways and cleanup approaches is essential for developing scalable, eco-friendly solutions that reduce the accumulation of microplastics in ecosystems and limit human dietary and respiratory exposure.
