Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are generally reported to be effective in removing microplastics (MPs). Nevertheless, the lack of standardized methodologies for their counting and characterization hinders direct comparison across literature reports, limiting establishment reliable benchmarks. In this perspective, work aimed provide methodological insights on a feasible approach detecting characterizing MPs both raw treated wastewater by exploiting innovative Laser Direct InfraRed (LDIR) technique. various polymeric nature, size shape were specially produced used fine-tune validate LDIR-based method chemical identification size/morphology description, while well-established techniques employed evaluate reliability collected data. The robustness tailored protocol was then assessed through monitoring campaign conducted at large municipal WWTP Tuscany (Italy), which an average removal efficiency 82 % estimated. Various polymers detected processed samples, with high relative content cellulose-based materials influent effluent (32 54 particles, respectively). Most had characteristic lower than 100 μm, particles <30 μm representing about 45 29 effluent, respectively. form fibers (25-39 %), fragments (32-43 %) pellets (29-32 %). consistency obtained results suggested proposed method, highlighting its potential more in-depth WWTPs.

Microplastics, small sized plastic particles having size <5 mm are formed through primary process including production of beauty products, microbeads and microfibres as well secondary mechanical weathering, friction, aberration fragmentation large plastics. The major sources microplastics land-based ocean-based sources. Microplastic pollution is a serious concern due to the persistent, low biodegradability bio-accumulative behaviour. Microplastics can bioaccumulate in food chain cause ecological human health risk. Hence, it important remove from aquatic ecosystems. removed systems wastewater series processes such physical, chemical biological treatments. In present articles, >250 articles reviewed collect information regarding various methods for removal microplastics. Also, probable control strategies combat with were assessed. It was concluded that recent water treatment efficient removing microplastic pollution. efficiencies ranged between 74 %-99.2 %, 65 %-99.20 % 77 %-100 methods, respectively. Among three physical especially filtration biochar most way (efficiency up 100 %) also creating public awareness, promoting reusing, recycling reducing, application bioplastics wastes. This review will be useful add current knowledge abatement pollution, finding novel solution help policymakers implement effective cost-efficient method microplastics, find out new reduce, reuse recycle
