Author Description

The Impact and Remediation of Microplastics Pollution. Microplastic contamination is an increasing societal and environmental concern worldwide, with microplastic particles found in various terrestrial ecosystems, landfills, and even agricultural soil, infiltrating the food chain and causing risks to living organisms. This book summarizes the emergence of microplastics (MPs) as pollutants in soil ecosystems and provides a fundamental introduction to MPs in general (the origin, makeup and features). It also describes emerging bioremediation techniques and potential future directions, particularly for consideration within developing nations. Global experts present the information in an accessible way, allowing readers from diverse backgrounds to develop a solid foundation for understanding remediation options and future prevention of this challenging problem.
