Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous pollutants that can effectively harm different ecosystems. The information on the relative contribution of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) to surrounding environment is important, in order understand ecological health risks and implement measures reduce their presence. This focus article presents a quantitative assessment concentration types MPs delivered from four WWTPs located at Southeast Spain. Samples were collected throughout four-year period, comprising more than 1,200 L analyzed 3,215 microparticles isolated. Density extraction with 1.08 g/mL NaCl salt solution was systematically used as main separation method, simple reliable manner, repeat cycles did not play any significant impact study outcomes. had removal efficiencies between 64.3% 89.2% after primary, secondary, tertiary phases, without diurnal or daily variations. Advanced methods displayed lower rate for fibers particulate MPs. abundance always higher mean size samples Autumn rest seasons. dumped large quantities into meant be regarded an important point source aquatic terrestrial environments.
