Purpose.<\/strong>\u00a0To assess the pollution of recreation areas in Chernihiv with wet wipes and raise schoolchildren\u2019s awareness of the related environmental problems.\u00a0Design \/ Method \/ Approach.<\/strong>\u00a0Direct counting of wet wipes on 100 m\u00b2 in summer and autumn 2024. A socio-pedagogical study of schoolchildren\u2019s awareness was conducted through a lecture and an online questionnaire before and after the lecture.\u00a0Findings.<\/strong>\u00a0Wet wipes were found as litter in recreation areas, indicating a low level of public awareness of their environmental impact. The smallest number of wet wipes was recorded in well-maintained or rarely visited areas. The highest (7 wipes\/100 m\u00b2) was found in frequently visited but uncleaned areas without trash bins. The lecture \u201cEcoSecrets of Wet Wipes\u201d resulted in a positive shift in students\u2019 perceptions, making them more aware of wet wipes as environmental pollutants containing hazardous substances and microplastics.\u00a0Theoretical Implications.<\/strong>\u00a0The findings expand the understanding of the environmental hazard posed by wet wipes and emphasize the need to mitigate their negative impact, particularly by educating schoolchildren about wet wipe pollution.\u00a0Practical Implications.<\/strong>\u00a0Raising awareness among children about responsible wet wipe use and the need to enhance their biodegradability and environmental safety. This supports the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals by promoting more conscious consumption habits.\u00a0Originality \/ Value.<\/strong>\u00a0This study is the first ecological assessment of urban pollution caused by wet wipes in Ukraine and the first socio-pedagogical study on schoolchildren\u2019s awareness of this issue.\u00a0Research Limitations \/ Future Research.<\/strong>\u00a0Further educational and awareness-raising activities among school and university students regarding the environmental hazards of wet wipes, aligned with Sustainable Development Goals.\u00a0Article Type.<\/strong>\u00a0Applied Research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
