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.
