- Title
Emerging Concerns about Microplastic Pollution on Groundwater in South Korea.
- Authors
Kim, Heejung; Lee, Jin-Yong
- Abstract
MPs are a new type of pollutant in the groundwater environment. In South Korea, as MPs were detected in tap water in 2017, investigations into the distribution of MPs in industrial and sewage treatment facility discharge water were initiated [[22]]. Groundwater contamination by MPs is of particular concern because the HZ, waterfront areas near wastewater treatment facilities, and karst areas have highly vulnerable hydrogeological properties for maintaining and managing groundwater resources (Figure 1).
