A systematic review of research on the occurrence and removal of microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) within water treatment plants and distribution systems. It examines findings from numerous studies conducted globally, focusing on the characteristics of plastic particles found in raw water, treated water, tap water, and treatment plant sludge. The review analyzes the effectiveness of various treatment processes like coagulation-flocculation-sedimentation, filtration, and disinfection in removing MPs and NPs, while also discussing their potential sources within the water supply chain. The authors highlight existing research gaps and suggest directions for future investigation into this emerging environmental concern.
