Microplastic Pollution

Discover the full picture of one of today's most urgent environmental challenges-microplastic pollution. In Microplastic Pollution: Pathways, Risks, and Solutions for a Cleaner Environment, this comprehensive guide explores how microplastics are generated, how they travel through freshwater and marine systems, and what we can do to mitigate their impacts. Covering everything from drinking water contamination, human and ecological health risks, and urban runoff, to policy responses, wastewater infrastructure, and consumer behavior, this book provides a clear, evidence-based understanding of the problem-and the tools needed to address it.

Whether you are a policymaker, environmental professional, researcher, educator, or sustainability advocate, this book offers:

Detailed analysis of microplastic pathways and environmental persistence Insights into regulatory and governance frameworks Innovative solutions including bioplastics, filtration systems, and circular economy models A systems-thinking approach to cross-sector alignment and long-term action

With practical strategies and up-to-date research, this is your essential resource for building a cleaner, more resilient future-free from microplastic pollution.
