About the Book

This book focuses on microplastics as emerging persistent contaminants in terrestrial environments. Scientists from around the globe review recent advances in multi-disciplinary research on micro(nano)plastics, including analytical methods; the sources, fate and distribution of microplastics;  ecological risks;  toxicity and health risks; and control and countermeasures for microplastics in terrestrial environments. Offering a comprehensive overview of microplastics in terrestrial environments, the book is a valuable resource for environmental researchers, ecologists and toxicologists, as well as for policymakers and non-experts.

Table of Contents:
Analytical methods for microplastics in environments: current advances and challenges.- Identification and characterization methods for microplastics basing on spatial imaging in micro-/nanoscales.- Microplastics in urban environments: sources, pathways and distribution.- Microplastics in agricultural soils.- The distribution and characteristics of microplastics in coastal beaches and mangrove wetlands.-Microplastics in inland small waterbodies.- Microplastics in the sediments: From rivers to lakes investigated in the biggest freshwater lake (Poyang Lake) basin and Yangtze River in China.- Sources of microplastic in the environment.- Interaction of microplastics and organic pollutants: quantification, environmental fates and ecological consequences.- Interaction of microplastics and heavy metals: toxicity, mechanisms and environmental implications.- Microplastics and their effects on soil function as a life-supporting system.- Occurrence and ecotoxicological effects of microplastics on aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems.- Microplastics in soil ecosystem: insight on its fate and impacts on soil quality.- The toxicity of (nano)microplastics on C. elegans and its mechanisms.- Uptake of microplastics and their effects on plants.- Biofilms of microplastics.- Tissue accumulation of microplastics and toxic effects: Widespread health risks of microplastics exposure.- Microplastics in food: health risks.- Microplastics in aquaculture systems and their transfer in the food chain.- Biodegradation of plastics in Tenebrio genus (mealworms).- Plastics of the future? The impact of biodegradable polymers on the environment.- Countermeasures on plastic and microplastic garbage management.
