Particulate Plastics in Terrestrial and Aquatic Environments
The manufacture of plastic as well as its indiscriminate disposal and destruction by incineration pollutes atmospheric, terrestrial, and aquatic ecosystems. These particulate plastics are a major source of pollutants in soil and marine ecosystems. Synthetic plastics do not break down; they accumulate in the environment as macro-, micro-, and nanoplastics.
The book demonstrates the ecotoxicity of particulate plastics using case studies and offers management practices to mitigate particulate plastic contamination in the environment.Features - Describes physical and chemical properties of particulate plastics in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems - Particulate Plastics in Terrestrial and Aquatic Environments provides a fundamental understanding of the sources of these plastics and the threats they pose to the environment.
