Descrição do livro

Microplastic Pollution: Sources, Environmental Fate, and Remediation Strategies is a comprehensive, evidence-based exploration of one of the most pervasive environmental challenges of the twenty-first century. Since Thompson et al. (2004) first introduced the term “microplastics” to describe fragments smaller than five millimetres recovered from marine sediments and plankton samples, research into these particles has grown from a narrow marine-biology curiosity into a genuinely cross-disciplinary field spanning chemical engineering, ecotoxicology, atmospheric science, soil science, and international environmental law. This book was written for graduate students, environmental researchers, engineers, policymakers, and informed general readers who want a structured, scientifically grounded account of how microplastics enter the environment, how they move and transform once released, what harm they cause to ecosystems and human health, and — critically — what can realistically be done about them. Rather than treating sources, fate, and remediation as separate silos, the book follows the full life cycle of a microplastic particle: from its origin in a shed textile fibre, a worn tire tread, or a fragmenting plastic bag, through its transport via rivers, wastewater systems, and atmospheric currents, to its eventual accumulation in ocean sediments, agricultural soils, or polar ice — and finally to the emerging technologies designed to intercept, degrade, or prevent it. Across ten chapters, the book draws on the rapidly expanding peer-reviewed literature — including foundational work such as Lebreton et al. (2017) on riverine plastic transport, and recent syntheses such as Osman et al. (2023), Mohsin and Abd Zaid (2025), and Kamalasekaran and Sundramoorthy (2026) on degradation mechanisms and remediation engineering — to present both the current scientific consensus and the genuine uncertainties that remain. The book argues throughout that no single intervention will resolve microplastic pollution alone; only an integrated approach spanning source reduction, environmental monitoring, remediation engineering, and policy reform offers a realistic path forward.
