Microplastic pollution : environmental occurrence and treatment technologies / Muhammad Zaffar Hashmi, editor

Tue, 04 Oct 2022 19:59:05 +0900

Muhammad Zaffar Hashmi, editor. Microplastic pollution : environmental occurrence and treatment technologies. Springer, [2022]; ©2022, Emerging contaminants and associated treatment technologies. ISBN:9783030892197; 3030892190
This volume discusses the growing issue of global environmental microplastic pollution resulting from the industrial manufacturing of everyday products. The book focuses on the emergence of microplastic pollution, types, sources, fate, dynamic trends in the environment, occurrence in different environmental settings, toxicity, risk assessment, and prevention strategies. The authors provide a detailed explanation and provision of the techniques used for the detection, separation, and identification of microplastics for use by industry workers and scientists, along with policy recommendations for legislative bodies to reduce the spread and impact of harmful microplastics. The book will be of use to students, teachers, researchers, policy makers, and environmental organizations

Plastics and the ocean : origin, characterization, fate, and impacts / edited by Anthony L. Andrady

Tue, 27 Sep 2022 17:11:27 +0900

edited by Anthony L. Andrady. Plastics and the ocean : origin, characterization, fate, and impacts. Wiley, 2022. ISBN:9781119768401; 1119768403
"Plastics and the Ocean captures the present state of knowledge on the sources, characterization, and environmental impacts of plastics in the ocean. Reflecting on current research and reader interest, the book focuses mainly on micro-scale and nanoscale plastics in the ocean environment, including the human impacts of these that reach consumers via seafood. Recognizing that in the face of future growth in plastics use in packaging, how the mismanagement of plastic waste, especially urban litter, is largely responsible for plastics pollution, the book also addresses human behavioral aspects of the problem. This collection of expert perspectives is arranged in a logical sequence to guide the reader through this multi-disciplinary subject area. An overview of the field sets the scope of the discussion and highlights its importance to related fields of science, as well as to the everyday life of consumers. Written and edited at a level that is jargon-free and accessible to readers with a background in basic chemistry and biology, this text provides engineers and scientists with a common vocabulary to explore this critical field"--

Microplastic contamination in aquatic environments : an emerging matter of environmental urgency / edited by Eddy Y. Zeng

Thu, 09 May 2024 19:50:14 +0900

edited by Eddy Y. Zeng. Microplastic contamination in aquatic environments : an emerging matter of environmental urgency. Second edition, Elsevier, [2024]. ISBN:9780443153327; 9780443153334; 0443153337
This book presents 14 chapters, through which a team of global, expert contributors cover a full range of microplastic research. The first chapter describes the general patterns for sources, occurrence, and transport of microplastics to lead off the book. The next batch of chapters covers sampling analytical methods for quantifying microplastics in the environment, followed by chapters addressing the association of chemicals with microplastics. A large cluster of chapters focus on the fate and transport of microplastics in wastewater treatment plants, freshwater systems, marine environment, terrestrial settings, and riverine runoff that connects terrestrial and marine systems. The next few chapters examine biotransport and effects of microplastics in organisms. The last two chapters are dedicated to two emerging research areas: nanoplastics in the environment and management strategies for global plastic pollution. Outlooks for future research to better understand the situation and further improvements of microplastic research are also covered. In the 6 years since the previous edition published, this fast-moving area has evolved, and the contents of this revision reflect that. There are numerous brand-new chapters, chapters that have been revised, and chapters that have been completely refocused. This book provides an overview of microplastics research. It is a guide for researchers to better understand the occurrence of microplastics. Ideally, this book provides basic background knowledge of microplastics for oceanographers, ecologists, and climatologists

Mika Sillanpää, Ali Khadir, Subramanian Senthilkannan Muthu, editors. Microplastics pollution in aquatic media : occurrence, detection, and removal. Springer, [2022]; ©2022, Environmental footprints and eco-design of products and processes. ISBN:9789811684395; 9811684391; 9789811684401; 9811684405
This book highlights one of the most important water pollutants known as Microplastics. It has been reported that humans and the environment are dealing with microplastics particles in water and aquatic media. Despite the fact that such pollution might have mainly started out from the sea, it is now in lakes, rivers, ponds and even drinking water. This book presents as overview of microplastics in freshwater environments in different regions around the world. It discusses the ecotoxicological effects of microplastics, the removal/remediation techniques of microplastics and the role of water/wastewater treatment plants in spreading microplastics. This book is a valuable resource, covering wide aspects of microplastics from sources, detection and characterization to removal and their fate in treatment plants
