Share Guwahati: Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati researchers have developed a microfiltration process to remove microplastics from seawater in order to prevent the inclusion of plastic residues in edible salt extracted from it. Prof. Kaustubha Mohanty and Dr. Senthilmurugan Subbiah, Department of Chemical Engineering, IIT Guwahati, have recently published the results of this research in the journal Environmental Technology & Innovation, in a paper co-authored by their research scholar, Mr. Naveenkumar Ashok Yaranal. Plastic pollution is rampant all over the world and while there is some level of awareness, the seriousness is not yet understood. Micro-plastics – plastic pieces smaller than one-fifth of an inch – are now found in almost all oceans and marine animals.

Research performed in East Asia has shown that 90 percent of the table salt brands sampled worldwide has micro-plastics. A
