Microplastic Contamination in Aquatic Environments: An Emerging
Matter of Environmental Urgency, Second Edition presents 14
chapters, through which a team of global, expert contributors cover
a full range of microplastic research. The first chapter describes
the general patterns for sources, occurrence, and transport of
microplastics to lead off the book. The next batch of chapters
cover sampling analytical methods for quantifying microplastics in
the environment, followed by chapters addressing the association of
chemicals and microbial community with microplastics. A large
cluster of chapters focus on the fate and transport of
microplastics in wastewater treatment plants, freshwater systems,
marine environment, and riverine runoff that connects terrestrial
and marine systems. The next few chapters examine bio-transport and
effects of microplastics in organisms. The last two chapters are
dedicated to two emerging research areas: microplastics in
terrestrial settings and nanoplastics in the environment. Outlooks
for future research to better understand the situation and further
improvements of microplastic research are also covered. In the 6
years since the previous edition published, this fast-moving area
has evolved, and the contents of this revision reflect that. There
are numerous brand-new chapters, chapters that have been revised
and chapters that have been completely refocused. Microplastic
Contamination in Aquatic Environments provides an overview of
microplastics research. It is guide for researchers to better
understand the occurrence of microplastics. Ideally this book
provides basic background knowledge of microplastics for
Oceanographers, Ecologists and climatologists.
