Micronanoplastics: From Source to Sink

Interactions, Behavior, and Implications on the Environment

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Micronanoplastics: From Source to Sink: Interactions, Behavior, and Implications on the Environment covers the urgent issue of pollution caused by micronanoplastics (MNP) on the physiochemical and biological properties of soil, water, and air. Through evaluation and analysis of the latest studies, the authors present the effects of micronanoplastics on climate change and offer sustainable alternatives that mitigate the harmful environmental effects. With the help of diagrams and illustrations of models, pathways and processes, the book will provide the researcher and student a deeper understanding of the topics discussed and offer management strategies that promote sustainability.
