Microplastic contamination in a conventional wastewater treatment plant in Thailand

Katekanya Tadsuwan et al.

Summary: This study investigated the microplastic pollution in an urban wastewater treatment plant in Thailand, finding that the major types of MPs in the WWTP were polyester fibres, followed by polypropylene, polyethylene, silicone polymer and polystyrene. The study highlights the potential risk of MPs from dried sewage sludge in agricultural soil.

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.

The microplastisphere: Biodegradable microplastics addition alters soil microbial community structure and function

Jie Zhou et al.

Summary: Research shows that adding polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) can enhance the growth and activity of soil microbial communities, leading to higher enzymatic activity in the microplastic environment. Compared to untreated soil, soil treated with PHAs exhibits increased microbial diversity and altered bacterial community structure.

Effects of polyethylene microplastics on the fate of antibiotic resistance genes and microbial communities in anaerobic digestion of dairy wastes

Qiuping Zhang et al.

Summary: This study found that polyethylene (PE) microplastics can improve methane production and COD removal rates in thermophilic anaerobic digestion by increasing the abundances of certain microorganisms involved in hydrolysis, acidogenesis, and acid utilization. Additionally, PE microplastics significantly increased the fold changes in the abundances of antibiotic resistance genes.

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.

Occurrence and removal of microplastics from wastewater treatment plants in a typical tourist city in China

Lishan Zhang et al.

Summary: The study found that microplastic content decreased significantly during the treatment process in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), but still widely existed in influent, effluent, and sludge. Fibers were the predominant type of microplastics, and the tertiary industry was identified as the main contributor of microplastics to WWTPs.

A review of biodegradable plastics to biodegradable microplastics: Another ecological threat to soil environments?

Meng Qin et al.

Summary: Biodegradable plastics are considered as a promising substitute for non-degradable plastics that lead to serious pollution, but not all biodegradable plastics are fully degradable naturally. Some may disintegrate into microplastics at a faster rate than conventional plastics, posing a new threat to soil environments. Researchers are now investigating the potential adverse effects of biodegradable microplastics on soil ecosystems, suggesting that they may not be a complete solution to the issue of plastic pollution.

Microplastic degradation as a sustainable concurrent approach for producing biofuel and obliterating hazardous environmental effects: A state-of-the-art review

Arjay A. Arpia et al.

Summary: Since their introduction in 1907, plastics have become omnipresent in society, leading to a ballooning global plastic production in the 20th century. After their useful life span, plastics fragment into microplastics (MPs) and pose hazardous risks to all life forms. Sustainable routes for MP degradation, such as thermodegradation and biodegradation, can help reduce and obliterate MPs in the environment, while also providing a potential solution to energy security issues. Continued research and increased awareness of the hazards of microplastics give hope for achieving sustainable development goals in the near future.
