The sponge made of cotton and squid bone has effectively absorbed about 99.9% of microplastics in water samples, offering a potential solution to global pollution.
The study reveals that unlike previous filtration systems, this new sponge filter is scalable, making it a viable option for large-scale deployment.
Microplastics can contain at least 16,000 harmful chemicals linked to severe health issues, emphasizing the need for effective remediation strategies to protect ecosystems and human health.
Testing showed the sponge could remove up to 99.9% of microplastics from various water sources, demonstrating remarkable effectiveness and reusability in filtration.
