Nanomaterials as Promising Agents for Microplastic Reduction in Water Systems: A Review
Abstract: Microplastics pollution in water bodies has emerged as a global environmental concern, posing significant threats to aquatic ecosystems and human health due to its perseverance, bioaccumulation, and potential toxicity. Traditional removal techniques for contaminants in water treatment include sedimentation, adsorption, and filtration, each utilizing distinct methods to separate and eliminate pollutants. Techniques adopted for microplastics removal are not efficient and cause several environmental issues. To overcome the drawbacks of such …

Experimental Analysis of Physical Parameters in Treated Water
Abstract: During the first phase, the surface water treatment plant at Saidabad treats 225 million liters of water per day. In the treated water, turbidity, color, total coliform, fecal coliform, and hardness are reduced; on the other hand, conductivity and total dissolved solids increase. In the wet season, turbidity is high due to relatively coarse particle dispersions in river water. All other parameters, such as, color, total and fecal coliform, hardness, …
