Microplastics in Sewage Sludge of Wastewater Treatment
, 2023 Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) have been regarded as vital sinks and sources of microplastics from urban waters to the environment. Microplastics could be removed and migrated to the sewage sludge in the WWTPs.

Wastewater treatment alters microbial colonization of microplastics.
PLoS ONE, 2021 Microplastics are ubiquitous contaminants in aquatic habitats globally, and wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are point sources of microplastics. Within aquatic habitats microplastics are colonized by microbial biofilms, which can include pathogenic ...
