How Microplastics in Wastewater Disrupt Anaerobic Digestion and Threaten Sludge Treatment
In this article we report on new research that reveals how microplastics disrupt anaerobic digestion and threaten sludge treatment due to the increasing presence of these tiny plastic particles in sewage works sludge (known as biosolids). A recent study published in the Journal of Hazardous Materials highlights the detrimental effects of microplastics (MPs) on sludge […]
