Microlitter in sewage treatment systems : a Nordic perspective on waste water treatment plants as pathways for microscopic anthropogenic particles to marine systems.
The report presents results from a study on the role municipal sewage treatment plants (STPs) have as entrance routes for microplastics and other microlitter particles to the marine environment. Microlitter concentrations were analysed in waste water before and after treatment in the STPs, and in th...
