First edition. Boca Raton : CRC Press, 2023. 1 online resource text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier Emergence, chemical nature, classification, environmental impact and analytical challenges of various plastics -- Laws, regulations or policy tools to govern macro-, meso-, micro- and nanoplastics -- Degradation pathways of various plastics -- Interaction of inorganic and organic pollutants with microplastics -- Impacts of micro-, nano-plastics on biota -- Collection of micro-, nano-plastics from various environments and associated challenges -- Separation of micro-, nanoplastics from various environments and associated challenges -- Identification of micro-, nano-plastics and associated analytical challenges. "This book introduces the growing problem of microplastics pollution in the soil and aquatic environment and its interaction with other chemical pollutants. Further, it provides a detailed review of existing analysis techniques for characterization, separation, and quantification of microplastics including their merits and demerits with possible suggestions. Additionally, the regulatory need and actions for improving the economic and quality of plastic recycling, curbing microplastic littering, and stakeholders, researchers, and recyclers challenges are reviewed comprehensively. Priorities are identified to bridge the knowledge gaps for appropriate management of existing challenges. Features: Provides a comprehensive description of the fate and environmental impact of microplastics, along with various characterization methods Overviews the interaction of microplastics with other toxic chemicals and further their transportation in environment Explains how microplastics enter in environment and its effect on biota and human health Analyses existing analytical techniques for characterization of microplastics Describes societal awareness related to use of plastic and discarding This book focusses on graduate students, researchers in environmental engineering, ecological engineering, chemical and biological engineering, plastics and material sciences/engineering, waste management. materials science"-- Provided by publisher.
