Synopsis

Microplastics and Nanoplastics: Occurrence, Environmental Impacts and Treatment Processes comprehensively illustrates the microplastics and nanoplastics pollution in different waters, wastewaters and terrestrial environment, and the possibilities of their removal/degradation. It provides a through and exhaustive discussion of the ongoing research and future perspectives of micro/nanoplastics, their interaction with other chemicals, the advanced degradation technologies and their impacts on the ecosystem.

Micro- and nano-plastic pollution is an important topic in academia and industry and is gaining considerable attention in the society due to the concerns related to plastics. In addition to presenting the current issues and trends, this book also addresses some concrete solutions to mitigate this emerging environmental threat. This book is written at an advanced level to address the needs of researchers, students as well as people outside the field of environment technology including, industries, government sectors, business establishments and public interest groups.
