Microplastic Pollution: Occurrence, Health Risk and Challenges (EPUB)

This reference book examines microplastics from their sources and presence in terrestrial, aquatic, and air environments through to their fate in wastewater treatment systems. It covers sampling, analysis, and detection methods along with advanced instrumentation for quantification. The book presents health risk analysis and toxicity of microplastic contamination, including ecotoxicological impacts and risks from accumulation in the tropical food chain and food web. Chapters explore health risks associated with microplastic additives and their interactions with other pollutants. The final chapters address plastic and microplastics management, covering advanced technologies for bioplastics production, biodegradation of plastics and bioplastics, and the role of nanotechnology. It serves as a source for researchers, policymakers, and environmentalists concerned about the impact of microplastics on ecosystems and human health.
