STEM Approach in Assessment of Microplastic Particles in Textile Wastewater
Abstract:Multidisciplinary engineering approach as STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) approach to characterize microplastic particles in household and industrial effluents was performed. Particles released during production, use, and disposal of plastic products now pose a significant burden on the environment. In addition to the consumption of energy, water and chemicals, the impact of the washing process is increasingly reflected in the environmental impact of microplastic particles shed from tex… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
