Produktbeschreibung
Handbook of Microplastics offers an extensive and authoritative overview of microplastics, exploring their origins, proliferation, and the diverse environments in which they are found. The book delves into the chemical composition, morphology, and physical properties of microplastics, presenting a comprehensive understanding of the various forms these materials take. By examining the mechanisms behind microplastic formation, the text underscores the significance of detection and analytical techniques, emphasizing how accurate identification is crucial for assessing environmental and health impacts. This resource is invaluable for scientists, policymakers, and anyone concerned about the challenges posed by microplastic pollution. In addition to addressing the sources and characteristics of microplastics, the book identifies key commercial products contributing to their spread, raising awareness about the environmental consequences of consumer choices. It carefully examines the hazards associated with different polymers, the presence of microplastics in air, water, and soil, and their effects on plants, animals, insects, and aquatic organisms.
