BC Insider: Microplastics: The next big (tiny) unknown in water reuse
Introduction
As concerns about environmental pollution continue to grow, the issue of microplastics in water reuse has emerged as the next big (tiny) challenge. Microplastics are tiny particles of plastic that are less than 5mm in size, making them virtually invisible to the naked eye. These microplastics can originate from a variety of sources, including the breakdown of larger plastic debris, microbeads in personal care products, and even synthetic fibers from clothing.
The Impact of Microplastics
The presence of microplastics in water sources has raised significant concerns due to their potential negative impacts on human health and the environment. Studies have shown that microplastics can accumulate in the bodies of aquatic organisms, potentially causing harm when consumed. Furthermore, microplastics have been found in drinking water sources, highlighting the need for further research and effective mitigation strategies.
