Sewage Treatment plant are not designed to take care of these new manmade chemicals. Water sources have these manmade chemicals. However the conventional Water Treatment Plant removes only insoluble solids contributed by nature. Many of the insoluble manmade chemicals (Plastic, Laminates etc) are non biodegradable and poses threat to the surrounding environment. Micro plastic in sea is biggest threat to the Marine Ecosystem. There is urgent need to reduce the chemicals usage by alternate methods or switch over the traditional alternatives using the natural renewable resources.
