Abstract
Contamination of groundwater by microplastics is a major health concern because groundwater is a major source of drinking and agricultural water. Here, we review microplastics with focus on contamination sources, characteristics, migration, water quality, ecological and health risks, and preventive and removal strategies. Contamination sources include landfills, waste dump leachates, wastewater treatment plants, industrial waste streams, land use, agriculture, urban and residential activities, and atmospheric transport and runoff. Contamination levels reach up to 6,832 microplastics per liter of groundwater. Membrane technologies, such as microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, and reverse osmosis, achieve 93–99% removal of microplastics.
期刊介绍：
Environmental Chemistry Letters explores the intersections of geology, chemistry, physics, and biology. Published articles are of paramount importance to the examination of both natural and engineered environments. The journal features original and review articles of exceptional significance, encompassing topics such as the characterization of natural and impacted environments, the behavior, prevention, treatment, and control of mineral, organic, and radioactive pollutants. It also delves into interfacial studies involving diverse media like soil, sediment, water, air, organisms, and food. Additionally, the journal covers green chemistry, environmentally friendly synthetic pathways, alternative fuels, ecotoxicology, risk assessment, environmental processes and modeling, environmental technologies, remediation and control, and environmental analytical chemistry using biomolecular tools and tracers.
