REMOVAL OF MICROPLASTIC IN WATER USING OIL-BASED FERROFLUID SOLUTION

Description: Microplastics are plastic particle under 5mm in size. They enter the environment through human use. Larger plastic debris can degrade into micro size particle with exposure to sun and water. Microplastic in water is the major cause of many harmful diseases so along with the government this is the duty of every citizen to contribute to resolving it. By using knowledge in a correct way, the amount of micro plastic in water can be reduced, and it is possible to make our drinking water safe and clean.

Socio-Economic Benefits: It’s important to note that the health effects of micro plastic ingestion in humans are an active area of research this problem is resolved by Ferro fluid solution that act as a magnet that attracts Microplastic from water. Although we’ve to reducing plastic waste and improving waste management practices can help mitigate the presence of micro plastics in the environment and in the human diet.
