Microplastic Pollutants introduces the reader to the growing
problem of microplastic pollution in the aquatic environment and is
the first ever book dedicated exclusively to the subject of
microplastics. Importantly, this timely full-colour illustrated
multidisciplinary book highlights the very recent realization that
microplastics may transport toxic chemicals into food chains around
the world. Microplastic pollutants is currently an important topic
in both industry and academia, as well as among legislative bodies,
and research in this area is gaining considerable attention from
both the worldwide media and scientific community on a rapidly
increasing scale. Ultimately, this book provides an excellent
source of reference and information on microplastics for
scientists, engineers, students, industry, policy makers and
citizens alike.
