The aim of the discussion is to expose the challenges related to sampling and detecting plastic particles in treated wastewater. The different types of microplastics and a rough estimation of the amount of plastic which could end up in the aquatic environment is given. The work is based on a literature review of microplastic particles in treated wastewater and discusses their consequences on the aquatic ecosystem.}, doi = {10.4467/2353737XCT.17.011.6108}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/czasopismo/czasopismo-techniczne/artykul/microplastics-in-urban-water-management} }
