Impact of Microplastics on the Fate and Behaviour of Arsenic in the Environment and Their Significance for Drinking Water Supply

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

- The introduction is too short, please try to improve it

- Line 68 : please add the related reference since you are giving a statistic

- Methods and material: how many scientific papers have been investigated?

- Table 1 is weakly discussed

- Line 104-105: the sentence needs to be improved, it is miswritten 

- The whole paper only reports what was analyzed in previous studies, although I can not see the authors added value to the paper. A review paper is not always about reporting what was reported in previous studies but analyzing the findings and presenting new findings and outcomes based on these findings.

- Try using scientific English! Paper writing still needs to be checked

- A discussion section needs to be added, where authors can present what key outcome from this analytical study of previous research work related to this review topic.

- Conclusion needs further improvement 

fine, moderate revision is needed

Reviewer 2 Report

Authors have presented a detailed review on impact of microplastics on ......... drinking water supply however it would be of more importance to focus solely on drinking water supply which lacks enough detail in it.  Hence, authors need to add more information to Section 4

 

Authors also need to correct minor grammatical errors found in the manuscript.

Round 2

Reviewer 1 Report

I am satisfied with the current version, mainly the introduction and conclusions sections were pretty developed 

English is acceptable, minor correction is needed
