It discusses plastics' origins, qualities, and environmental impact, with a focus on their effects on ecosystems, wildlife, and human health. The book looks at both macro and microplastic pollution, providing insights into how plastics degrade and enter aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, posing serious threats to biodiversity and food safety.Through a multidisciplinary lens, the book examines the history of plastics, their chemical makeup, and the mechanisms that contribute to their pervasive environmental presence. It investigates the primary and secondary sources of microplastics, as well as their effects on marine and freshwater ecosystems. It also emphasizes the importance of urban management techniques, trash reduction, and innovation in the development of biodegradable alternatives.This book offers a mix between scientific research, practical examples, and solutions to address plastic pollution, making it an invaluable resource for students, researchers, and environmental professionals. It challenges readers to consider the worldwide ramifications of plastic trash and the pressing need for action, with an emphasis on increasing awareness and advancing sustainability.
