Developing improved methodologies for the quantification of microplastics in wastewater treatment plant effluent and sludge

The wastewater treatment process has long been recognised as a potentially significant source of microplastic pollution in freshwater environments. Though a handful of studies have demonstrated this emission across Europe and North America, a lack of consistency in the methodological approaches take...
