Plastic Industry Development and Natural Environment Protection
AI summary Read the abstract
This paper from China reviews how rising plastic production and improper disposal are increasing microplastic contamination in the environment, threatening both ecological and human health. It calls for improved pollution control strategies and stronger regulatory oversight of the plastic industry.
With the improvement of China's industrial manufacturing capacity and people's living standards, more and more plastic products appear in people's daily life.Because of the use and loss of plastic products, as well as the participation of plastic products in related industrial activities, the amount of micro plastics entering the environment is also increasing, both ecological health and human health are threatened.At present, the problem of plastic pollution in the environment is becoming increasingly serious worldwide.In order to reduce the harm of plastic pollution to the environment, this paper conducts a plastic ecological risk assessment on the sewage generated in the production process of a plastic industry, explores the potential risks of plastic pollution to the natural environment, can deeply understand the current situation of plastic pollution in the environment, and then uses SMBR process to treat plastic production sewage, analyzes the removal rate of CODcr.The results show that:, SMBR has a good removal effect on micro plastics, which provides a technical reference for the implementation of plastic pollution prevention.

The contamination of microplastics in China's aquatic environment: Occurrence, detection and implications for ecological risk
AI summary Read the abstract
This review summarized microplastic contamination across marine environments, freshwater systems, and wastewater treatment plants in China, one of the world's top plastic-producing countries. The study highlights that research on how microplastics transfer between connected water environments remains lacking, and the microscale toxicity of microplastics is still poorly understood.

This review summarizes research on plastic pollution in China's coastal environments, noting that as the world's largest producer of plastic waste, China faces significant environmental challenges. Researchers found that microplastics have been detected in surface waters, sediments, and the water column along Chinese coasts from both land-based and sea-based sources. The study highlights that while national-level policies address plastic waste broadly, there is virtually no legislation specifically targeting microplastic pollution.
