Removal of Environmental Microplastics by Advanced Oxidation Processes
AI summary Read the abstract
This review examined the use of advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) to degrade and remove microplastics from surface waters, ocean waters, soils, drinking water, and wastewater. AOPs represent a promising technological pathway for eliminating microplastics at treatment facilities, which is critical given that conventional systems fail to fully prevent microplastic entry into drinking water and food sources.
Environmental microplastics and their additives—a critical review on advanced oxidative techniques for their removal
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed how advanced oxidation processes — including photocatalysis and electro-Fenton methods — can break down common microplastics and their chemical additives like BPA in water, finding these techniques are more effective than traditional treatment methods but still require further study for large-scale use.
Microplastic (MP) Pollution: Environmental Fate, Eco-toxicity and Sustainable Remediation
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewing microplastic pollution across all Earth's biomes find these particles disrupt plant photosynthesis, cause hormonal and reproductive harm in aquatic animals, and trigger cytotoxicity, neurotoxicity, and immune dysregulation at the cellular level, while evaluating biodegradation, coagulation, and photocatalytic remediation strategies.
A Review on the Fate of Microplastics: Their Degradation and Advanced Analytical Characterization
AI summary Read the abstract
This review covers current methods for extracting, degrading, and analytically characterizing microplastics from environmental and biological samples, highlighting major gaps in photo-oxidation, biodegradation, and photo-thermal degradation approaches. Establishing effective microplastic degradation methodologies is essential for reducing their prolonged environmental persistence and preventing ongoing bioaccumulation of plastic fragments and associated toxic chemicals in food chains.
