Abstract
ABSTRACTMicroplastics (MPs) are a pollutant that increasingly threatens freshwater ecosystems and requires effective solutions for their removal. The aim of this study is to review current filtration methods used to remove MPs from freshwater environments. This study uses a systematic review method of existing literature regarding filtration techniques for removing MPs. Data were collected from various scientific sources published between 2015 and 2023. The filtration techniques analyzed include traditional filtration and advanced filtration technology. The study results show that advanced filtration technologies such as nanofiltration and biofiltration have a high potential in removing MPs from freshwater. However, each technique has its own challenges, including removal efficiency and implementation cost. The conclusion is that filtration is an effective method for dealing with MP pollution in freshwater ecosystems; however, further study is needed to address the existing challenges. This study provides in‐depth insights that can help develop more efficient policies and technologies for managing MP pollution in the future.
