Full Description

Microplastics in Aquatic Systems: Detection, Impact, and Remediation provides a multidisciplinary perspective on the latest advancements in microplastic research, with a particular focus on technological innovations and their applications in aquatic environments. The book explores novel approaches that integrate AI and sensor technologies to enable faster and more efficient microplastic detection, both qualitatively and quantitatively. Designed for students, researchers, policymakers, and environmental professionals, each chapter includes a Materials and Methods section that clearly describes the research methodology and information collection processes, whether for experimental studies, theoretical approaches, or practical applications.

All chapters feature a Discussion section to highlight research innovations, and insights while offering different perspectives on the topic. Additionally, a dedicated section on Future Perspectives and Innovation explores potential developments and emerging research directions. By bridging scientific research, technological innovation, and socio-economic considerations, this book aims to provide valuable insights for those working towards sustainable solutions to microplastic pollution in aquatic systems.
