Due to the non-biodegradability of plastic substances, coupled with
poor waste management practices, plastic pollution has become a
major environmental issue within the past decade. However, the
negative effects of plastic pollution are rarely opposed, or the
solutions proposed are costly or still damaging to the environment.
New strategies must be undertaken to prevent irreparable
environmental damage from disposable plastic products while
maintaining and maximizing the benefits of plastics in specialized
cases, such as medicine and public health. The Handbook of Research
on Environmental and Human Health Impacts of Plastic Pollution is a
collection of innovative research that assesses the negative
impacts of plastic on the environment, human health, and
ecosystems, and explores biotechnological approaches to solve
plastic pollution. While highlighting topics including medical
wastes, biodegradability, and phthalate exposure, this publication
intends to provide readers with the latest solutions for reducing
the burden of plastic on the environment. It is ideally designed
for environmentalists, policymakers, instructors, researchers,
graduate-level students, industrialists, and non-governmental
organization professionals seeking current research on health and
ecosystem concerns from the overconsumption of plastics.
