Microplastics in the Sea: Occurrence and Impacts is a comprehensive reference written by recognized leaders in the field which provides the most up-to-date science on how microplastics impact the environment and marine life. Although the impacts of microplastics in the ocean are vast, this book focuses on methodologies for determination, identification, and reliable experimental protocols. In addition, it describes how microplastics can impact public health as the presence of plastics in the environment affects the food chain and food security. Users will find background material on microplastics in the environment, with coverage of living organisms such as crustaceans, mollusks and marine fish.

Finally, Microplastics in the Sea: Occurrence and Impacts discusses the importance of spectroscopic analysis in determining the presence of, and impact on marine organisms.

  • Discusses how debris such as plastic bags, bottles, caps, fishing line, and more can have severe impacts on charismatic fauna, e.g., seabirds and sea turtles
  • Presents the latest research on how microplastic materials can affect filter-feeding organisms and subsequent members of the food chain
  • Provides information of potential preservation methods and recovery rates to determine validity of extraction methods
