Plastics have become ubiquitous and essential raw material
in various industries since their invention in the 1930s. Plastic waste in the environment
can be classified into five categories: nanoplastics (NP), microplastics (MP),
mesoplastics, macroplastics, and megaplastics. Micro- and nano-plastics (MNPs)
have become a threat to the environment in recent years and interest in the
environmental occurrence, fate and elimination of MNPs has shifted towards
surface waters. MNPs have been detected in water resources around the world,
including tap water, streams, rivers, and lakes. Scientific literature
indicates that MNPs destroy water quality, affect source water quality and pose
potential adverse impacts on human health directly and indirectly. MNPs are
subjected to various mechanical, chemical, and biological weathering processes
(such as UV radiation, oxidants, wave actions, and biofilm formation) in
aquatic environment. And weathered MNPs may show different physicochemical
properties from the original ones. Several techniques and processes such as
coagulation, sedimentation, magnetic extraction; sand filtration, membrane
filtration and adsorption, have been attempted to remove MNPs from drinking
water with total removal efficiency ranging from <10 to 100%. This chapter
is aimed to provide review about current knowledge of occurrence, fate and
transport, and removal of MNPs in drinking water sources.
