## Overview


Environmental persistence of synthetic polymers mitigated through the application of bacterial strains, fungal strains, and isolated enzymes



Microplastic contamination in aqueous environments reduced via magnetic composite adsorbents utilizing biochar, cellulose, MOF, and mineral substrates



Microfiber release during domestic laundry cycles prevented through the integration of housing, filter modules, and pre-filters in washing machine wastewater systems
