Wastewater treatment fails to kill several human pathogens when they hide out on microplastics in the water, according to a new study.

“Plastics in wastewater treatment plants are colonised by microbial biofilms, or “plastispheres,” which can harbour pathogens, including Listeria, E. coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Acinetobacter spp ...

Wastewater treatment plants are designed to remove contaminants from wastewater, but microplastics persist and can become colonized by a sticky microbial biofilm. Previous research has suggested ...
