Plastic waste comprises particles with heterogeneous physicochemical properties such as large size-range, different shapes and polymer types with various additives determining their environmental fate and risk. This complexity raises several open research questions which are explored in this book. Examples are the plastic uptake by aquatic organisms, degradation processes as well as sources and sinks in the environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eReaders will discover real case studies of plastic pollution detection and management in different parts of the world, including Asia, America and Europe, which provide an integrated overview of the global scope of this issue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\nThis book and the companion volume \u003ci\u003ePlastics in the Aquatic Environment - Part II: Stakeholders' Role Against Pollution \u003c\/i\u003eare valuable resources to students, researchers, policymakers and environmental managers interested in plastic pollution and working towards its reduction.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2021-10-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783030841171\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-030-84118-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 496\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45378340487308,"sku":"9783030841171","price":341.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783030841171.jpg?v=1772804691","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783030841171","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
