Overview

This review explores micro(nano)plastics' impacts on wastewater treatment and sustainable water management, highlighting critical challenges and solutions.

Key Points

  • This review investigates the occurrence, removal, and ecological implications of micro(nano)plastics in aquatic systems.
  • Conducted bibliometric analysis to identify research trends and gaps.
  • Reviewed conventional and advanced wastewater treatment methods for micro(nano)plastics removal.
  • Examined policy frameworks and regulatory responses to micro(nano)plastics management.
  • Conventional wastewater treatment plants achieve 20–90% removal of micro(nano)plastics, varying by treatment stage.
  • Advanced methods, including membrane filtration and photocatalytic approaches, exceed 95% removal efficiency under laboratory conditions.
  • Identified key research needs in standardized methods and integrated treatment strategies for effective micro(nano)plastics management.
