Shaopeng Xu et al.

Summary: Microplastics (MPs) have been found to be widely present in the northern South China Sea, with polyethylene terephthalate fibers being the dominant polymer. Although the abundance of MPs in the South China Sea is relatively high, it is lower compared to other Chinese coastal areas. There was no statistically significant correlation between the abundances of MPs in seawater and sediment, and the distribution of MPs in surface water influenced by monsoons showed higher abundance in the east and lower in the west.

Removal of polystyrene microplastic spheres by alum-based coagulation-flocculation-sedimentation (CFS) treatment of surface waters

Jinkai Xue et al.

Summary: Microplastics are a complex issue in water systems due to their diverse physical and chemical characteristics. This study investigated the removal of carboxylated polystyrene microspheres in real surface waters, finding that higher alum doses generally led to better removal of smaller microspheres, but no substantial improvement in removal of particles between 3 and 25 μm. Smaller PS microspheres were more effectively removed in both river and lake water sources, with the water source significantly affecting the removal efficiency.
