Seasonal variation and removal efficiency of microplastics in wastewater treatment: a year-long study across three municipal water reclamation plants
This study investigates the seasonal variations and removal efficiency of microplastics (MPs) in the wastewater of three water reclamation plants. Despite effective removal, MPs were still found in the effluent, posing low to medium ecological risks.
