“…For instance, ENPs have already been demonstrated to be released from consumer goods [3], during washing of textiles [4,14,40], and via surface run-off from coated faç ades [20,19], and have been detected in effluents from wastewater treatment plants [21,39], indicating that conventional (waste)water treatment processes might be insufficient in removing ENPs [34,41].
