Microplastics In Terrestrial Environments

Contaminants of the Great Lakes Accordingly, the book also explores recent advances in contaminant detection, along with future steps forward in lake management approaches. Divided into four parts, this volume covers historic, current and emerging sources of contamination from heavy metals and persistent organic pollutants to microplastics; and identifies their ecological impacts.This book reviews the globally important freshwater resource of the Great Lakes, which is currently threatened by contaminants that compromise water quality and impact its ecological and economic health.

Gathering contributions by a multi-disciplinary team of authors, it reviews the available methodologies for the remediation of various types of waste, e.

e-waste, wastewater, municipal solid waste and algal blooms.This volume provides an overview of recent trends in bioremediation techniques.

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. This book focuses on microplastics as emerging persistent contaminants 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.
