contents <div> <p><span lang="EN-US">Microplastic contamination in wastewater poses significant environmental and health risks, particularly when treated water is used for irrigation. This study explores the efficiency of silica as a filtration medium for removing microplastics from wastewater and assesses the suitability of the treated water for irrigation.
