Synopsis

This edited book is a comprehensive collection of information on microplastics and their existence within the environment. The main focus of this book is to address the ecological aspect of microplastics and their degradation of the ecosystem. It deals with the distribution, persistence, fate, and remediation of microplastics with novel strategies such as nanoparticles, beneficial microbes, biofilms, enzymatic processes, bio-nano materials, biotechnological and other sustainable approaches.

The widespread presence of microplastics in the environment has led to major concerns, thereby orienting the studies on the interactions within the environment among plants and soil microbiome. The variety and properties of microplastics in the environment make their interactions more complex. The emergence of new ecological sites will also affect the ecosystem of water and soil. This title compiles updated aspects and information about the remediation practices and the fateof microplastics in the environment.

The book focuses on eco-friendly, eco-efficiency and novel practices to deal with microplastic pollution. This book is of interest and useful to agricultural professionals, environmentalists, industrialists, field-level extension workers, planters, industrial entrepreneurs, ecologists, and a valuable source of reference to the relevant researchers and students in the region.
