Abstract Microplastics (MP) in the environment has attracted extensive attention due to their ubiquitous occurrence and potential toxic effects; but less been given removal technologies of MP different environmental media. This review covers sources, ecotoxicities, soil water environments reported previous studies derive future research directions for technologies. Previous various sources contribute present environments, indicating that source control may be a better strategy than contaminated media treatment management contamination. Similarly, terrestrial aquatic organisms have used determine effects with characteristics. ecotoxicity on cover only small number species compared organisms. Therefore, further are necessary investigate ecotoxic broader range Also, since characteristics diverse, more both required. The provides an overview identifies gaps existing studies. Although conducted soil, they remain early stages. More needed water. With water, most carried out lab scale artificial wastewaters, thus, natural waters pilot or field Overall, this highlights need real world applications.
