Fate and effects of microplastics in wastewater treatment processes

Mengjie Wu et al.

Summary: MPs have been proven to be harmful to the environment and humans, with wastewater treatment plants being a significant source of their release. Secondary treatment is the most efficient process for removing MPs, but their presence can impact reagent dosage, nitrogen conversion rate, and membrane fouling in wastewater treatment processes. Additionally, the effects of MPs on activated sludge mainly influence nitrification and denitrification processes, sludge digestion, and microbial communities. Further research is needed to fully understand the interactions and impacts of MPs on wastewater treatment processes.

A review on the characteristics of microplastics in wastewater treatment plants: A source for toxic chemicals

Amir Hossein Hamidian et al.

Summary: Wastewater treatment plants are a significant source of microplastics discharged into the environment, with their characteristics in different environmental matrices still largely unknown. Most microplastics in water samples are composed of PET, PS, PP, and PE, with a significant proportion being removed during primary and secondary treatment stages, and MBR being the most efficient tertiary treatment technology. The majority of microplastics removed during wastewater treatment end up in sewage sludge and are released into the environment via sludge applications.
