Household Point-of-Use Devices for the Removal of Microplastics in Drinking Water: A Scoping Review Protocol
Summary
This scoping review protocol maps scientific evidence on household point-of-use devices for removing microplastics from drinking water, targeting studies that report quantitative removal performance under real or simulated home conditions. Drinking water is an established route of human microplastic exposure, and systematic evaluation of accessible household filtration technologies is essential for understanding and mitigating daily ingestion of plastic particles.
This scoping review aims to map the available scientific evidence on household point-of-use (POU) devices for removing microplastics (MPs) from drinking water intended for human consumption. Following the PCC framework, it focuses on drinking water matrices in household settings, technological evaluations of POU treatment devices, and studies conducted under real or simulated household conditions. Experimental and quasi-experimental studies reporting quantitative removal performance will be included.
