This informative book discusses the issue of microplastic pollution in marine environments. It explains the intricate ways in which these minuscule particles have crept into the world's oceans, impacting marine life, ecosystems, and, ultimately, human health.
The book provides a detailed depiction of pristine marine environments, which are increasingly being compromised by microplastic pollution. The effects of these microplastics are the main focus of the book. It provides alarming evidence that marine life from the tiniest plankton to the largest whales mistakenly identifies microplastics as food. Plastics are introduced into the food chain, accumulating in the trophic levels of humans, in addition to causing internal obstructions and health problems for the animals. The book also shows how microplastics can carry infections and toxins, amplifying their negative consequences. It discusses cutting-edge technical solutions for ocean cleanup, as well as international agreements and laws aimed at trash management and plastic production. The book emphasizes the value of scientific investigation in determining the full scope of the issue and in creating biodegradable substitutes for conventional plastics.
This book will be of significant interest to environmental enthusiasts and activists; academics, scientists, and researchers studying marine biology, oceanography, and environmental science; policymakers and government agencies; as well as industry professionals working in plastics manufacturing, waste management, and environmental consulting.
