Beschreibung
This book focuses on microplastics as emerging persistent contaminants in terrestrial environments. Scientists from around the globe review recent advances in multi-disciplinary research on micro(nano)plastics, including analytical methods; the sources, fate and distribution of microplastics; ecological risks; toxicity and health risks; and control and countermeasures for microplastics in terrestrial environments. Offering a comprehensive overview of microplastics in terrestrial environments, the book is a valuable resource for environmental researchers, ecologists and toxicologists, as well as for policymakers and non-experts.

“Shows a deeper insight in a specific environmental compartment and gives detailed information about effects, side effects, and cooperative effects. …. The present book is a comprehensive and diverse contribution in the field of microplastics in terrestrial environments. The 22 chapters provide not only insights into the environmental sciences, but they also show foresights and stakeholder-relevant connections. It is the first book summarizing the state of the art and a unique resource to any scientist in this field.” (Katrin Schuhen, Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, Issue 413, 2021)
