(2017, background): “Also, some studies identified microplastics by visual 107 observations only, typically reporting shape (Magnusson and Norén 2014, McCormick et al. 2014).”
Microplastics in freshwater and terrestrial environments: Evaluating the current understanding to identify the knowledge gaps and future research priorities. (2017, background): “As sewage treatment 213 works are efficient in removing the majority of microplastic particles from wastewater, many of the 214 particles that are removed will be retained within the sludge (Magnusson and Norén, 2014; Mintenig 215 et al., 2017).”
