Micro-plastics as a new challenge in water resource management; Various forms and removal methods, (A review study)

Background and Purpose: Today, the production of plastic materials has multiplied with the growth of population and the development of industry in the world. Micro-plastics are released into the environment by the decomposition of plastic materials. The World Health Organization (WHO) has called the...
