Meso and Microplastic Risk Assessment in Marine Environment: New Threat and Challenges in Marine Environment presents an interdisciplinary approach, offering key techniques and management of microplastic contamination in the disciplines of environmental science, fisheries, oceanography, geology, chemistry, biology and ocean science. Sections cover an overview of microplastic in the marine environment, deal with the origin, occurrences, distribution and various methodologies (for dealing with microplastics) available for microplastics, address the global case study of microplastic separation using recent techniques, and discuss the impact of microplastics on human health and the surrounding environment.This book is an important step in the field of microplastic pollution mitigation in environmental science as it offers a thorough accounting of the effects of pollutants on the environment, marine organisms, and the public health implications, as such it is relevant for aquatic ecologists, oceanographers, toxicologists, and marine biologists. - Includes a range of topics from meso- to microplastics, including weathering and fragmentation processes of microplastics - Presents data from source to sink, such as the occurrence and distribution of microplastics in freshwater bodies, coastal zones and the open ocean - Presents the impacts of microplastics on marine life as well as microplastics as vectors of biological and chemical contaminants - Provides important analysis on the solutions and next steps
