Scientists built a reusable magnetic material that removed more than 95% of microplastics and nanoplastics from water within one hour and showed early promise in removing some PFAS

• A vial containing magnetic adsorbent material designed to remove microplastics, nanoplastics, some PFAS and other contaminants from wastewater.
• The new water treatment technology captures plastic particles down to 30 nanometres while also pulling out toxic heavy metals, drug residues, and industrial dyes.
• The findings were published in the Chemical Engineering Journal in a paper titled "Scal
