Abstract Nowadays, microplastics (MPs), as ubiquitous pollutants in aquatic ecosystems,
present a major emerging threat. Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are considered a …

In this study, the presence of microplastics in the sludge of three wastewater treatment plants
(WWTPs) was examined. The investigated WWTPs operated based on a conventional …

Microplastics are of increasing interest as one of the most important threats to the natural
environment and aquatic life. One of the main pathways of microplastics entering the aquatic …

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are acting as routes of microplastics (MPs) to the
environment, hence the urgent need to examine MPs in wastewaters and different types of …

Microplastics (MPs) pollutants are produced from macro plastic products and have harmful
effects on our ecosystem. It can be generated as any form or shape such as chip, thread …

In last 10 years, the interest about the presence of microplastics (MPs) in the environment
has strongly grown. Wastewaters function as a carrier for MPs contamination from source to …

Microplastics (MPs) have garnered growing attention of researchers, as they are proved to
be hazardous to the environment and humans. Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are …

The effective interception of membrane leads to the accumulation of microplastics (MPs) in
membrane bioreactor (MBR) process for long-term operation. However, the influence of MPs …

Microplastic pollution has become emerging environmental concern around world. The
wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are attributed to a major pathway for microplastics …

Microplastics (MPs) are tiny pieces of plastic smaller than 5mm that have raised concerns to
aquatic organisms and human health due to their ubiquitous presence. Wastewater …
