This volume focuses on microscopic plastic debris, also referred to as microplastics, which have been detected in aquatic environments around the globe and have accordingly raised serious concerns. The book explores whether microplastics represent emerging contaminants in freshwater systems, an area that remains underrepresented to date. Given the complexity of the issue, the book covers the current state-of-research on microplastics in rivers and lakes, including analytical aspects, environmental concentrations and sources, modelling approaches, interactions with biota, and ecological implications. To provide a broader perspective, the book also discusses lessons learned from nanomaterials and the implications of plastic debris for regulation, politics, economy, and society. In a research field that is rapidly evolving, it offers a solid overview for environmental chemists, engineers, and toxicologists, as well as water managers and policy-makers. 2020-11-13T13:34:26Z 2020-11-13T13:34:26Z 2018 book ONIX_20201113_9783319616155_8 9783319616148 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/42902 eng The Handbook of Environmental Chemistry application/pdf Attribution 4.0 International 2018_Book_FreshwaterMicroplastics.pdf https://www.springer.com/9783319616155 Springer Nature Springer International Publishing 10.1007/978-3-319-61615-5 10.1007/978-3-319-61615-5 6c6992af-b843-4f46-859c-f6e9998e40d5 9783319616148 Springer International Publishing 58 303 open access
