ClearOccurrence, identification and removal of microplastics in a wastewater treatment plant compared to an advanced MBR technology: Full-scale pilot plant
Researchers compared microplastic removal efficiency between a standard wastewater treatment plant and an advanced membrane bioreactor (MBR) system and found MBR technology achieved 99.7% removal — far outperforming conventional treatment — suggesting upgraded filtration systems are critical to keeping microplastics out of waterways.
Scientists’ Warning to Humanity: Rapid degradation of the world’s large lakes
Scientists issued a comprehensive warning that the world's large lakes — critical freshwater sources supporting biodiversity and billions of people — are degrading rapidly due to warming temperatures, habitat destruction, invasive species, and accelerating pollution including microplastics. The review calls for urgent conservation action and a global network of long-term lake monitoring stations to detect and respond to ongoing changes.
