Mizzou scientists achieve more than 98% efficiency

🎀 Highlights

Scientists from the University of Missouri have developed a new liquid-based solution that effectively removes over 98% of harmful nanoplastics from water, addressing a significant environmental and health concern.

Ishtaweera, who now works at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in St. Louis, noted that the new method is effective in both fresh and saltwater.

“These solvents are made from safe, non-toxic components, and their ability to repel water prevents additional contamination of water sources, making them a highly sustainable solution,”
