This book aims to address details and research gaps in the impacts of
microplastics in terrestrial ecosystems. It addresses the impact of
microplastics on the soil environment, and highlights and discusses
their transport behavior, pollution level, and the combined effects of
the microplastics with other pollutants on the soil ecology.
Furthermore, it also highlights the effects of UV irradiations and
mechanical abrasions from soil fauna and various agricultural
practices. Features: Covers advances in plastic/micro-/nano-plastic
pollution and possible pathways of pollution. Demonstrates the
mitigation measures to minimize such pollution loads, with a special
focus on the application of nanotechnology. Explores recycle and
value-added products from waste plastic. Promotes development of
alternate clean energy sources. Introduces appropriate alternatives
and/or finding strategies to mitigate the existing microplastic crisis
using suitable approaches. This book is aimed at researchers and
graduate students in environmental and chemical engineering, as well
as remediation.
