Addressing the Insufficiency of Marine Outfall Regulations in Mitigating Microplastic and AMR Pollution from Wastewater Treatment

2024-04-09

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Microplastics are found in all marine compartments, ranging from sea ice to sediments, beaches, and the open ocean, with a significant portion originating from land-based wastewater treatment plants. Policy in the South African context permits responsible disposal of wastewater through a marine outfall provided that the raw wastewater undergoes treatment and does not cause any adverse e...
