Reduction in the Input of Microplastics into the Aquatic Environment via Wastewater Treatment Plants in Germany

Microplastics, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 3(2), С. 276 - 292

Опубликована: Май 20, 2024

Microplastic (MP) has emerged as a significant environmental challenge due to increased plastic production and its widespread presence in the environment. This study aimed assess MP concentrations throughout treatment process at nine wastewater plants (WWTPs) Germany, from influent effluent. A customized sampling technique was employed, followed by field laboratory preparation quantification of polymers (PE, PP, PS, PMMA, PET) using TED-GCMS. decreased progressively WWTPs, with ranging 2.5 13.6 mg/L. Effluent conventional WWTPs ranged 0.001 0.051 mg/L, while advanced via filtration yielded below limit 0.005 All tested demonstrated an over 99% removal efficiency for microplastics. Despite effective retention critical evaluation results is necessary. There need optimize existing technologies enhance standardization sampling, processing, measurement methods, well intensify efforts towards creating preventive measures reduce emissions.

The peroxidase toxicity assay for the rapid evaluation of municipal effluent quality

Water Emerging Contaminants & Nanoplastics, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 4(1)

Rapid and cost-effective tests for the evaluation of industrial municipal effluents are urgently needed environmental monitoring. In this context, peroxidase (PER) activity has been proposed as an early-warning biosensor assessing water quality various wastewater discharges leachates. The peroxidase-toxicity (Perotox) assay includes 0.1 µg/mL PER, albumin, DNA (for protection index), 0.001% monounsaturated Tween-80, substrates luminol H2O2. results revealed that initial burst luminescence was followed by a steady decrease in within first minute, accompanied periodic (cyclic) changes intermediate compound III (CIII) PER. When urban were added, PER inhibited, with concomitant increase lipid peroxidation, indicating oxidative damage. reduction also associated collapse formation CIII, alongside CIII over time. addition to reaction mixture helped mitigate inhibition certain effluents, enabling calculation index. levels polystyrene (PS) organic fraction higher primary aeration lagoon (36 µg/L) compared secondary lagoons membrane filtration (< 16 µg/L). Data analysis negatively correlated population size (r = -0.34) PS materials -0.56). conclusion, Perotox is rapid screening tool identifying potentially toxic complex mixtures, such effluents.
