ClearMicroplastic pollution is widely detected in US municipal wastewater treatment plant effluent
Researchers conducted a wide survey of US municipal wastewater treatment plants and found microplastics widely present in effluent, confirming that conventional treatment does not fully remove microplastics and that treatment plants are ongoing sources of environmental contamination.
A Survey of Microplastics in Invertebrates in the Lake Champlain Basin
This study investigated microplastic ingestion by aquatic macroinvertebrates in the Lake Champlain basin, finding microplastics in multiple invertebrate species at various sites. The results confirm that microplastics have entered the base of the food web in this large North American freshwater lake.
Microplastic Pollution: A Survey of Wastewater Effluent in the Lake Champlain Basin
This survey investigated microplastic pollution in wastewater effluent discharging into the Lake Champlain Basin in Vermont and New York, quantifying microplastic concentrations and types reaching the lake via treated sewage. The findings highlight wastewater treatment plants as an important pathway for microplastic entry into freshwater systems.
