Impacts of Wastewater Treatment Processes on the Occurrence Characteristics of Microplastics—Taking Four Wastewater Treatment Plants in Northern Henan Province as Examples
As emerging persistent contaminants, microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous in aquatic environments. Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) act as critical sinks and sources of MPs, and their MPs removal efficiency can strongly influence aquatic ecological safety. To investigate how different process configurations affect MPs...
