These frameworks suggested in this paper may be useful for reducing the proliferation of MPs in the environment. Based on all reviewed studies related to MPs research, we discussed the occurrence of MPs by identifying the major types and sources of MPs in water bodies; examined the recent ways...
“Based on the limited information we have, microplastics in drinking water don’t appear to pose a health risk at current levels. But we need to find out more. We also need to stop the rise inplastic pollutionworldwide.” WHO called further research and the following measures: ...

However, as the research on microplastics has only emerged recently, detailed and reliable SFAs are difficult to perform. In this study, we use three SFA studies for three pollutants (cadmium, copper and pharmaceuticals) to compare flows and strategies to control the flows. This in order to ...
Water SupplyEnvironmentToxicityMicroplasticsKey Takeaways Consumers are becoming more concerned with microplastics in water, so utilities should start thinking about methods to identify and address them. Although there is a lot of research on microplastics in marine environments, there isn't much research...
Microplastics, microscopic bits of manufactured or decayed plastics, are invading our surroundings. Researchers found it in our seas, drinking water, rainwater - and even table salt. The particles act as transport systems for contaminants, viruses and bacteria. Amphibious life ingests these particles,...
However, the WHO cautioned that the data on the occurrence of microplastics in drinking-water are limited at present, with few fully reliable studies using different methods and tools to sample and analyze microplastic particles. While calling for further research to obtain a more accurate assessment...
