This book assesses harmful effects of plastics on the environment
and public health. Risk assessment of plastics is required to
evaluate currently available treatment technologies and identify
the significance of plastic pollution. This book covers background
information concerning plastic pollution in the environment,
sources and pathways of plastics, characterization and analysis of
plastics in the environment, environmental risks of plastics,
public health risk of plastics, life cycle approaches in assessing
plastic pollution, preventive measures of plastic pollution, fate
and transport of plastics, and summary and outlook. The content of
the book focuses on assessment of risks of plastics (including
nano- and micro-plastics) released into the environment, and it is
designed to educate fundamental aspects of plastic materials,
including potential risks to the public health and environment,
approaches to assessing their harmful effects, prevention of
plastic pollution, and environmentally sound technologies for
recycling plastics and/or converting them into renewable energy
sources. Readers, particularly those in the field of toxicology,
materials, environmental policy, public health, and water
treatment, benefit from this book's content and educational
features, in perspectives of providing knowledge in the
environmental field, namely the current status and technology
developments for avoiding or minimizing plastic contamination, case
studies used to assess environmental and public health risks of
micro- and nano-plastics, and educational recommendations in
