This book addresses a broad range of issues concerning microplastic
pollution, including microplastic pollution in various environments
(freshwater, marine, air and soil); the sources, fate and effects
of microplastics; detection systems for microplastic pollution
monitoring; green approaches for the synthesis of environmentally
friendly polymers; recovery and recycling of marine plastics;
wastewater treatment plants as a microplastic entrance route;
nanoplastics as emerging pollutants; degradation of plastics in the
marine environment; impacts of microplastics on marine life;
microplastics: from marine pollution to the human food chain;
mitigation of microplastic impacts and innovative solutions;
sampling, extraction, purification and identification approaches
for microplastics; adsorption and transport of pollutants on and in
microplastics; and lastly, the socio-economic and environmental
impacts: assessment and risk analysis. In addition to presenting
cutting-edge information and highlighting current trends and
issues, the book proposes concrete solutions to help face this
significant environmental threat. It is chiefly intended for
researchers and industry decision-makers; international, national
and local institutions; and NGOs, providing them with comprehensive
information on the origin of the problem; its effects on marine
environments, with a particular focus on the Mediterranean Sea and
coasts; and recent and ongoing research activities and projects
aimed at finding technical solutions to mitigate the phenomenon.
