Microplastics and nanoplastics have been recently found in most
environmental media and in living organisms, thus representing a
serious health concern of yet poorly known adverse consequences.
This book summarizes recent findings on the sources, behavior,
transformation, toxicity and remediation of microplastics, with
focus on soils, water, wastewater, air, soils, plants and corals.
Advanced methods for sampling, characterization, removal and
degradation of microplastics.
Plastics show up in every area of our lives. They are durable,
cheap and light, properties that make them attractive but also
problematic for the environment. The focus of this book is not just
to highlight the problem of plastics, its definition, and how
plastic pollution is impacting human health and environment but
also to look at some best practices in both nature based solutions
and in the field of law and policies. The first section of the book
focuses on plastic pollution – it’s origin, relationship to
climate change, linear/circular economy, followed by sustainable
plastics, scientific solutions, and how policies can address
plastic pollution. This includes looking at better designs, more
sustainable feedstocks, and partnerships between various
stakeholders worldwide including USA, China, Canada, South Korea,
Thailand. This book will interest those who are associated with the
production industry, packaging industry, and waste management
industry as well as, academicians, students and policymakers.
