The project, "Detection and Remediation of Microplastic and Poly-Perfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) in Treated Sewage Water," addresses environmental concerns surrounding microplastics and PFAS. Microplastics, minute polymer particles measuring less than 5 mm, have infiltrated aquatic ecosystems, posing threats to marine life and entering the human food chain, potentially causing health problems. Conversely, PFAS, industrial chemicals, are linked to human carcinogenicity and are released from submerged microplastics. Despite sewage treatment efforts, both microplastics and PFAS persist in treated water, posing a persistent challenge.
The project employs advanced techniques such as Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) to precisely detect and quantify microplastics and PFAS in treated sewage water. FTIR enables accurate identification and concentration measurement of these pollutants, offering crucial data for mitigation strategies. Additionally, the research investigates the role of microorganisms (Lactic acid bacteria, Pseudomonas bacteria, Xanthomonas species) producing exopolysaccharides, substances that adhere to microplastics and PFAS, leading to their sedimentation and facilitating removal through filtration processes. Understanding these biological processes enhances wastewater treatment methods and fosters the development of effective remediation techniques. Remediating water sources for microplastics can lower the hazards of exposure to humans and health problems. We can reduce the possible effects on the ecology and public health by carrying out this activity.
