  • South Korea have developed a new water purification system that can effectively remove microplastics from water in just 10 seconds.
  • The system uses a polymer that is relatively inexpensive and has excellent adsorption performance and good photothermal properties. 
  • Microplastics, tiny plastic particles that are less than 5mm in size, have become a global problem.
  • They have been found in water bodies, soil, and air, and have even made their way into the human food chain.
  • The presence of microplastics in water can have negative impacts on aquatic life and potentially on human health.
