Full Description
This volume explores the pervasive issue of microplastics and the associated chemicals such as bisphenol A and phthalates in our environment and their implications for various living organisms, including humans. The handbook format systematically address the multifaceted nature of microplastic pollution. It presents the challenges posed by microplastics and delves into existing policies and innovative solutions for mitigating their impact. It provides actionable recommendations for policymakers, environmental advocates and industries aimed at reducing plastic pollution. Featuring case studies and practical examples, the book highlights the real-world implications of microplastic pollution.
Key Features:
Offers an in-depth exploration of microplastics and associated chemicals, covering this critical issue and inluding their sources, environmental impacts, and health risks.
Discusses emerging pollutants with potential widespread hazardous effects such as bisphenol A and phthalates.
Combining insights from environmental science, toxicology, and public health, the book bridges multiple fields to provide a holistic view of microplastics.
Featuring case studies and practical examples, the book highlights the real-world implications of microplastic pollution.
Readers will find discussions on how microplastics enter our food and beverages, and the potential health consequences, making the content relevant to everyday life.
