This study aimed to quantify the environmental impact of microplastic (MP) emissions from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) using life cycle assessment (LCA). The investigation comprehensively evaluated contribution MPs overall WWTP midpoint and endpoint impacts, with a detailed analysis influence particle size, shape, polymer type, costs benefits individual processes on MP removal. LCA model was developed SimaPro software, assessments conducted via USEtox framework IMPACT World+ methodology. Results showed that at level, accounted for 1.24E+05 CTUe (94 % total plant impact), representing potential harm aquatic species per cubic meter discharged wastewater-surpassing impacts other contaminants (e.g., heavy metals, nutrients) by least two orders magnitude.
