Issue Information
AI summary Read the abstract
This is a journal issue information page accompanying research on microplastic detection in wastewater, featuring cover artwork of laboratory-generated low-density polyethylene and PETE microplastics. It is a publication metadata record rather than a primary research article.
THE COVER: Laboratory-generated, lowdensity polyethylene microplastics (top insert) and PETE (blue, 40X fl uorescence microscope image) were incubated in wastewater fractions, disinfected, and analyzed for fecal indicators.

Methods and Techniques for Microplastic Detection and Identification in Water and Wastewater—A Methodology Review
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers review analytical methods and techniques for detecting and identifying microplastics in water and wastewater, addressing how contamination of this critical resource threatens food supply safety and human health through both point-source and diffuse pollution pathways.
Microplastics in Wastewater
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed the sources, fate, and treatment of microplastics in wastewater systems, finding that conventional treatment plants remove a significant portion of microplastics but still discharge millions of particles daily through effluents and biosolids, with remaining particles posing ongoing environmental and health risks.
Microplastics in Wastewater
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed how microplastics enter wastewater systems through multiple human activity pathways and how conventional treatment plants, while removing a large fraction, still discharge significant quantities of microplastic particles into receiving water bodies, threatening aquatic ecosystems and downstream drinking water quality.
