Microplastics in Urban Water Management Enables readers to
understand the true occurrence and fate of microplastics in
drinking water, wastewater and sludge, and receiving water
Microplastics in Urban Water Management focuses on the occurrence,
fate, effect, and removal of microplastics in the urban water
management systems, summarizing relevant methods for enhancing
microplastics removal and degradation, providing comprehensive data
from source to sink (including occurrence and fate of microplastics
in urban water management), and covering practical applications,
which are expected to provide some theoretical guidance for
controlling or mitigating microplastics pollution and its
environmental risks. The work also includes detailed
multidisciplinary information on the way in which microplastics
behave in urban water management, plus recent advances of
nanoplastics, i.e., nano-sized microplastics, in the aquatic
environment. In Microplastics in Urban Water Management, readers
can expect to find detailed information on sample topics such as:
Techniques for microplastics detection, including sample
collection, purification, identification, and quantitation, plus
the definition, emergence, occurrence, and removal of microplastics
Elements of microplastics in wastewater treatment plants; for
instance, the ecotoxicological effect on the biological treatment
of wastewater and sludge Why the discharge of microplastics from
wastewater treatment plants is the important source of
microplastics in the receiving waters Potential environmental risks
of microplastic contamination in receiving water systems and
evidence that microplastics can absorb, collect and transport
environmental contaminants as vectors For practicing toxicologists,
biologists, environmental and chemical engineers, and ecology
professionals, as well as researchers and graduate students in
these disciplines, Microplastics in Urban Water Management is an
essential all-in-one guide to understanding the current state of
microplastics in our world and potential solutions for the future.
