Publisher's Synopsis
Innovative Remediation Technologies for Micro- and Nanoplastics in Water and Wastewater addresses the critical global issue of water contamination by microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs), which are pervasive in both manufactured products and as byproducts of larger plastic debris breakdown. This comprehensive volume delves into the toxicological impacts of MP/NP pollution and explores innovative, sustainable remediation technologies for their removal from water and wastewater. Given the urgent need for effective solutions, this book provides a single-source reference for academicians, researchers, PhD students, managers, and environmental scientists, offering the latest information on remediation techniques and degradation mechanisms. By presenting global applications and comparing various remediation technologies, this book fills a significant gap in environmental remediation research. Key features include an in-depth analysis of the toxicological effects of MP/NPs, detailed exploration of sustainable remediation methods, and practical insights into the implementation of these technologies. This essential resource equips readers with the knowledge to tackle the pressing challenges of MP/NP pollution, ultimately contributing to healthier ecosystems and improved water quality worldwide.
