Angebote / Angebote:

An insightful and multidisciplinary exploration of plastic pollutants in ocean environments In Plastics and the Ocean, renowned researcher Anthony L. Andrady delivers a comprehensive and up-to-date treatment of the sources, characterization, and environmental impacts of plastics in the ocean. The book focuses on micro-scale and nanoscale plastics and the human impacts of these that reach consumers via seafood. It also addresses the human behavioral aspects of the problem via discussions of the mismanagement of urban litter. A diverse collection of expert perspectives guides the reader through this multi-disciplinary subject area. Beginning with an overview of the field, the book goes on to explore the importance of this area of research to other disciplines and to the everyday lives of consumers. This book offers engineers and scientists a common vocabulary with which to discuss this crucial field. It also includes: * A synthesis of leading voices in oceanography, biogeochemistry, industrial chemistry, ecotoxicology, polymer science, and behavioral science * Discussions of the impacts of a range of marine plastics, including large debris, microplastics, and nanoplastics * A summary of the abundance of plastics in various niches in the marine environment * Descriptions of the current methodologies for sampling, detection, processing, and identification of plastic waste Plastics and the Ocean is an indispensable resource for professionals, researchers, instructors, and graduate students in plastics and polymer science and engineering. It's also a must-read text for chemical engineers, materials scientists, and environmental engineers seeking a one-stop resource that describes the origins, occurrence, composition, environmental fate, and biological impacts of plastic pollutants in an ocean environment.
