The study of microplastic pollution is an important topic in industry, academia, and political legislation. Research in this area is gaining considerable attention on an increasing scale. This book presents case studies pertaining to worldwide geographical areas and scientific disciplines, including material sciences, analytical chemistry, environmental toxicology, and public health among others.

It introduces the complex issue of global ubiquitous microplastics in the environment. It reviews the tools and protocols for the detection, separation, and identification of microplastics using complex cases of environmental matrices. It discusses the fate and distribution of microplastics in wastewater treatment plants (water and solid line) and natural media. It provides a classification of microplastics in worldwide geographical areas and examines their sources and transport. The book also discusses the role of microplastics as vectors of hazardous chemicals associated with microplastics. It addresses the questions related to how exposure and co-exposure to microplastic-associated pollutants affect aquatic and terrestrial organisms.
