This book addresses the emergent need to act on reducing or getting
rid of micro plastic pollution, to achieve a sustainable
environment. Microplastics are small plastic pieces, which are less
than five millimeters long which can be harmful to our oceans and
aquatic life. These predominantly include microfibers from
clothing, microbeads, and plastic pellets. Microplastics impact
aquatic creatures, turtles and birds. According to the first study
on estimation of human ingestion of microplastic, on average a
person consumes at least 50,000 particles of microplastic a year
and breathes a similar quantity. Ingested microplastic particles
can physically damage organs and also compromise immune function
and stymie growth and reproduction. This book presents six
informative chapters in order to alleviate the above mentioned
issues .
