Plastic pollution has emerged as a pressing global concern, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, due to the widespread use of personal protective equipment. While numerous engineers and environmental scientists have dedicated their efforts to combat global plastic pollution, it is crucial to acknowledge the impact of smaller plastics, such as micro- and nano-plastics. These microscopic particles not only pollute the environment but also pose significant risks to public health, ecosystems, and marine life. Conducting comprehensive risk assessments of plastics is essential to evaluate the existing treatment technologies and understand the profound significance of plastic pollution.
Assessing the Effects of Emerging Plastics on the Environment and Public Health delves into the detrimental consequences of plastics on the environment and human well-being. It examines the potential hazards associated with micro- and nano-plastics and explores the application of modeling tools and preventive strategies to mitigate plastic pollution. By developing biodegradable plastics, promoting recycling, and reusing plastics in environmentally responsible ways, this book offers valuable insights for environmentalists, environmental engineers, government officials, libraries, business leaders, students, educators, academics, and researchers.
Agroecosystems play a pivotal role in the impact of plastics, and this book addresses various preventive measures and bioplastics as potential solutions. By shedding light on these topics, Assessing the Effects of Emerging Plastics on the Environment and Public Health serves as an indispensable resource for individuals and organizations seeking to address plastic pollution and promote sustainable practices.
