Microplastics in drinking water: occurrence, removal and human health risks

Treatment plants remove most large microplastics, but small particles and health effects remain poorly understood.

Compare what these papers say about treatment

Conventional coagulation and filtration remove 70–90% of particles above 10 µm 13, while evidence for nanoplastics comes mainly from animal studies 2.
