Affordable Solution for Removing Micro- and Nanoplastics from Water A research team from the University of S ã o Paulo (USP) in Brazil has introduced an innovative nanotechnology approach designed to eliminate micro-and nano plastics from water. The findings a p pear in Micron . The Growing Environmental Concern of Microplastics Ubiquitous tiny plastic particles have emerged as one of the most pressing environmental issues today, second only to the climate and the ra pid extinction of s pecies and ecosystems. Micro plastics and Their Ubiquity Micro plastics are present in soil, water, air, and in the bodies of humans and animals. Originating from everyday consumer items and the degradation of larger materials, these particles are found across all environments. A significant source is wastewater from washing synthetic-fiber clothing, which is not yet filtered to remove micro plastics, allowing them to enter the soil, groundwater rivers, oceans, and atmos ph...
