Title: Microplastics in WRRFs: Research, Risk, and Regulation Updates
Description:
Microplastics contamination in both aquatic ecosystems and wastewater treatment systems has surged to the forefront of discussions in the water industry. This session will delve into key topics such as the development of a comprehensive risk management framework customized for aquatic environments, comparison of microplastic extraction techniques, and an examination of the presence, behavior, and analysis of microplastics in biosolids treatment streams. Join us as we explore these critical facets of microplastics management, offering valuable insights and potential solutions to address this ever-growing concern. Learning Objectives
At the end of this session, participants will be able to:
1. Explain the latest proposed risk assessment strategies for microplastics in California.
2. Identify microplastic extraction methods from wastewater.
3. Describe current knowledge on microplastics occurrence in biosolids treatment and management processes and the interaction with other contaminants.
