Description
Summary:"As global concern grows over the widespread distribution of microplastics, the need for a multidisciplinary approach to their study has never been greater. This book, Microplastics: Analysis and Characterization, provides an authoritative account of the field, from the fundamental mechanisms of microplastic formation to the latest mitigation strategies. Organized logically to aid the reader, the chapters progress from legislative and management perspectives to technical details regarding sampling, separation, and morphological characterization. We examine microplastics in varied environments, including sewage sludge, oceans, and the atmosphere, while also highlighting the role of biodegradation and bioplastics. With a forward-looking focus on machine learning and numerical simulations, this volume addresses the future of the field, emphasizing the necessity of standardized protocols and interdisciplinary collaboration to tackle this global challenge"-- Provided by publisher.
