Wastewater treatment plants as a source of microplastics to an urban estuary: Removal efficiencies and loading per capita over one year
Wastewater treatment plants serve to collect and treat wastes that are known to include microplastic (MP; synthetic polymer materials <5 mm in size) and other small anthropogenic litter as particles, fibers and microbeads. Here, we determined the microplastic loads and removal efficiencies of thr...
