Household Point-of-Use Devices for the Removal of Microplastics in Drinking Water: A Scoping Review Protocol

Key Points

• To compile and assess the existing scientific evidence on household devices that remove microplastics from drinking water.
• Conduct a scoping review following the PCC framework.
• Evaluate technological performance of point-of-use devices.
• Include studies under real or simulated household conditions.
• Focus on experimental and quasi-experimental designs reporting quantitative outcomes.
• Identified various point-of-use devices with differing efficiencies for microplastics removal.
• Highlighted the need for standardized testing protocols for effectiveness.
• Documented a range of technological evaluations in household settings.
