A newly developed hydrogel is going to create new ways for us to remove harmful microplastics from drinking water.
A newly developed hydrogel can safely remove microplastics from water, a study reveals. The study is published in Nanoscale, and it highlights the importance of finding new ways to remove these harmful, tiny plastics from our drinking water. The hydrogel works by absorbing the tiny plastics, allowing them to be more easily removed from oceans and other bodies of water. Of course, the threat that microplastics pose to the human body is extremely well documented.
org explains in its report. This allows the hydrogel to bind the various contaminants – plastics, metals, etc – in the gel. They can then be degraded using UV light irradiation. It’s a novel method that could very well improve the quality of our bodies of water – including lakes, oceans, etc. Scientists have previously tried to create filtering systems that can remove these tiny plastics, but they often become clogged due to the build-up of the tiny particles.
