This book provides recent developments and advancements in management of plastic wastes and associated challenges with it. It primarily addresses the issues of plastics that might drastically affect the lifeform in the long run and its prevention by introducing appropriate alternatives and/or finding strategies to mitigate the existing microplastic crisis using suitable approaches. It focusses on efforts on neutralizing and restricting further spread of microplastic pollution, its bioaccumulation and associated human health impacts.

Features:

Covers technological mitigation of plastics and microplastic wastes along with their remediation in a technical manner.
Discusses advances in plastic and micro-/nano-plastic pollution and possible pathways of pollution.
Demonstrates the mitigation measures to minimize such pollution loads, with a special focus on the application of nanotechnology.
Reviews recycle and value-added products from the waste plastic.
Focusses on development of alternate clean energy sources.

This book is aimed at researchers and graduate students in environmental and chemical engineering and remediation.
