A narrative review was carried out to describe the current knowledge related to the
occurrence of MPs in drinking water. The reviewed studies (n= 21) showed the presence of …

Limited research studies have revealed the presence of microplastics (MPs) of different
polymer types, shapes, and sizes in drinking water sources, influents of drinking water …

Microplastics are ubiquitous and consequently enter drinking water treatment plants.
Knowledge of the microplastic fate in drinking water production is still very limited, although …

The wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) have long been recognized as a potentially
significant source of microplastic (MPs) pollution in aquatic environments. It is challenging to …

As discussed in the WHO report on MPs in drinking-water (1), plastic is considered to
provide various social benefits. For instance, it is a relatively inexpensive, flexible, robust …

Microplastics are ubiquitous in all environmental compartments, including food and water. A
growing body of evidence suggests the potential health impacts of continuous microplastic …

Mass spectrometry has emerged as a vital tool for microplastics (MPs) analysis, offering
sensitivity and specificity to identify diverse polymer types. This review explores mass …

Microplastics (MPs) are emerging pollutants detected everywhere in the environment, with
the potential to harm living organisms. The present study investigated the concentration …

Migration of emerging contaminants (ECs) from pipes into water is a global concern due to
potential human health effects. Nevertheless, a review of migration ECs from pipes into …

The ubiquitous presence of microplastics (MPs) in natural water bodies reflects the global
issue regarding these micropollutants. The main problem of MPs lies on the difficulty of …
