Landfill leachate wastewater treatment to facilitate resource recovery by a coagulation-flocculation process via hydrogen bond

Sze Yin Cheng et al.

Summary: The recent trend of recovering value-added products from wastewater requires more effective pre-treatment technology. It is crucial to optimize leachate treatment to facilitate downstream processing for energy production or value-added products, by using simple yet effective technology to remove pollutants with minimum chemical additives.

Current research trends on micro- and nano-plastics as an emerging threat to global environment: A review

Manish Kumar et al.

Summary: Micro-and nano-plastics (MNPs) are emerging environmental pollutants with high persistence and potential impacts on living organisms. MNPs can migrate between environmental compartments and affect the viability, development, movements of living organisms through potential mechanisms such as irritation, oxidative damage.

Removal of polystyrene and polyethylene microplastics using PAC and FeCl3 coagulation: Performance and mechanism

Guanyu Zhou et al.

Summary: This study investigated the removal performance of PS and PE microplastics using PAC and FeCl3 coagulants. Results showed that PAC was more effective than FeCl3, especially in alkaline conditions. Adsorption and complexation were the main removal mechanisms, with the formation of new bonds enhancing the efficiency.

Ecological risk assessment of microplastics in coastal, shelf, and deep sea waters with a consideration of environmentally relevant size and shape

Jae-Woong Jung et al.

Summary: The study assessed the ecological risk of microplastics in different seawater regions of South Korea, finding that current pollution levels do not pose a significant threat, but predicting a 50-fold increase by 2100 which would surpass safe levels for marine ecosystems. Urgent precautionary actions are needed to prevent further increase in microplastic concentrations.

First evidence of microplastic contamination in the freshwater of Lake Guaiba, Porto Alegre, Brazil

Crislaine Bertoldi et al.

Summary: This study investigated the contamination of microplastics in Lake Guaiba in southern Brazil and found widespread pollution of the lake with plastic particles. Fragment type was the most common morphology of microplastics, with white/transparent and red being the predominant colors. Additionally, the research indicated that the distribution of microplastics is strongly influenced by the geohydrological characteristics of the lake, emphasizing the need for improved waste management regulations to reduce microplastic pollution in freshwater systems.

Microplastics as an emerging source of particulate air pollution: A critical review

Srinidhi Sridharan et al.

Summary: The accumulation of plastic litter poses pressure on the environment, with microplastics pollution posing a universal challenge due to overexploitation and unsystematic dumping of plastic products. Research initially focused on aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, but recent studies have also examined microplastics in the air. Understanding the impacts of airborne microplastics on human health is still limited.
