Microplastics

Detection, Extraction, Remediation Techniques, and Future Perspectives

About this book

This book focuses on the detection, extraction, remediation techniques, and future perspectives of microplastics. It includes characteristics, fluctuations, distribution, and water remediation of microplastics using various functionalized nanomaterials. This book also covers the impact of microplastics discharged from domestic and various industrial fields such as pharmaceutical, clothing, polymer industries, etc., for the quantification of poisonous substances in water. Different techniques in water remediation and environment as well as in the determination of hazard, toxicity, and monitoring standards towards microplastics are also covered.

Features:

  • Discusses the presence of microplastics in matrices prone to human consumption.
  • Includes general information on microplastics, their origin, types, shapes, size, and nomenclature.
  • Reviews microplastics and numerous types of detection and extraction methods.
  • Illustrates fundamental methods and techniques used for the remediation of microplastics.
  • Explores the overall impacts of microplastics and their future perspectives.

This book is aimed at researchers, graduate students, and faculty members who can apply their knowledge in the emerging field of research on microplastic remediation. Despite our best efforts, mistakes and misconceptions may have occurred, for which we apologize. We welcome constructive criticism and suggestions to improve the presentation.
