Microplastics in urban water management play a significant role in understanding the presence and fate of these tiny particles in drinking water, wastewater, and sludge. This comprehensive book delves into the occurrence, fate, effects, and removal of microplastics in urban water management systems, summarizing relevant methods for enhancing microplastics removal and degradation. It provides comprehensive data from source to sink, encompassing the occurrence and fate of microplastics in urban water management. Additionally, it covers practical applications, offering theoretical guidance for controlling or mitigating microplastics pollution and its environmental risks.
The work also includes detailed multidisciplinary information on how microplastics behave in urban water management, along with recent advances in nanoplastics, specifically nano-sized microplastics, in the aquatic environment. In Microplastics in Urban Water Management, readers can expect to explore various topics such as:
Techniques for microplastics detection, including sample collection, purification, identification, and quantitation, along with the definition, emergence, occurrence, and removal of microplastics.
Elements of microplastics in wastewater treatment plants, such as their ecotoxicological effect on biological treatment of wastewater and sludge.
The importance of the discharge of microplastics from wastewater treatment plants as a significant source of microplastics in receiving waters.
Potential environmental risks of microplastic contamination in receiving water systems and evidence that microplastics can absorb, collect, and transport environmental contaminants as vectors.
This book is valuable for practicing toxicologists, biologists, environmental scientists, and policymakers who are interested in understanding the impact of microplastics on urban water systems and developing effective strategies for managing and mitigating their pollution.
