Freshwater Microplastics

Microplastics are contaminants of emerging concern in freshwater environments: an overview.- Aquatic ecotoxicity of microplastics and nanoplastics - lessons learned from engineered nanomaterials.- Analysis, Occurrence, and Degradation of Microplastics in the Aqueous Environment.- Sources and fate of microplastics in urban areas: a focus on Paris Megacity.- Microplastic pollution in inland waters focusing on Asia.- Microplastics in inland African waters: presence, sources and fate.- Modelling the fate and transport of plastic debris in fresh waters. Review and guidance.- Interactions of microplastics with freshwater biota.- Microplastic-associated Biofilms: A Comparison of Freshwater and Marine Environments.- Risk perception of plastic pollution: Importance of stakeholder involvement and citizen science.- Understanding the Risks of Microplastics. A Social-Ecological Risk Perspective.- Freshwater microplastics: challenges for regulation and management.- Microplastic: What are the solutions?

"The present book is the first one to address the issue of MP in a freshwater context. Since it is a complex issue, it deserves a transdisciplinary perspective. This goal has been achieved by the individual and well-known authors and even more by the editors. This makes the book pretty unique. ... This book is addressed to scientists and PhD students working in the environmental field of water analysis and toxicity." (Thomas P. Knepper, Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, Vol. 410, 2018)
