Wastewater treatment plants effectively remove microplastics – survey
Wastewater treatment plants remove microplastics with high efficiency, despite the fact that they were not designed to solve such problems – it was revealed during a survey of several domestic sewage treatment plants.
According to the announcement of the consortium conducting the survey, sent to MTI on Tuesday, the Water Management Science Committee of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (MTA) held a quarterly presentation session on April 3, at which special attention was paid to the latest research results on microplastics released through municipal wastewater.
In this context, the employees of the RISK-MP project consortium – Eurofins Analytical Services Hungary Kft., the Hungarian University of Agriculture and Life Sciences, the Aquaculture and Environmental Safety Institute and the Pannon University – presented their first results, which were collected during a survey of several domestic wastewater treatment plants.
