Meso and Microplastic Risk Assessment in Marine Environment: New Threat and Challenges in Marine Environment

Meso and Microplastic Risk Assessment in Marine Environment: New Threat and Challenges in Marine Environment presents an interdisciplinary approach offering key techniques and management of microplastic contamination in the disciplines of environmental science, fisheries, oceanography, geology, chemistry, biology, and ocean science. This book consists of four different components. The first describes the overview of microplastic in the marine environment. The second part of the book deals with the origin, occurrences, distribution and various methodologies (for dealing with microplastics) available for microplastics. The third part of the book addresses the global case study of microplastic separation using recent techniques. The fourth and final component discusses the impact of microplastics on human health and the surrounding environment. This section also addresses management and remediation methods to control microplastic contamination in the marine environment. Meso and Microplastic Risk Assessment in Marine Environment is an important step in the field of microplastic pollution mitigation (?) in environmental science as it offers a thorough account of the effects of pollutants on the environment, marine organisms, and the public health implications, as such it is relevant for aquatic ecologists, oceanographers, toxicologists, and marine biologists. Includes a range of topics from meso- to microplastics including weathering and fragmentation processes of microplastics Presents data from source to sink, such as the occurrence and distribution of microplastics in freshwater bodies, coastal zones and the open ocean Presents the impacts of microplastics on marine life as well as microplastics as vectors of biological and chemical contaminants Provides important analysis on the solutions and next steps INDICE: Meso and Microplastics: Introduction and current scenario 1.
