Although plastic pollution is a well-known global problem, the recent discovery of microplastics and nanoplastics in seas and oceans represents a very alarming new environmental challenge. The book offers comprehensive insights into the origins of the problem, its impact on marine environments, particularly the Mediterranean Sea and coasts, and the current research trends aimed at finding technical solutions to mitigate the phenomenon. It is primarily intended for scientists and decision makers from industry, international, national and local institutions and NGOs.Springer Water,2364-8198EcologyEnvironmental chemistryPollutionPolymersChemistry, Physical and theoreticalMaterialsEnvironmental SciencesEnvironmental ChemistryPollutionPolymersPhysical ChemistryMaterials EngineeringEcology.Environmental chemistry.Pollution.Polymers.Chemistry, Physical and theoretical.Materials.Environmental Sciences.Environmental Chemistry.Pollution.Polymers.Physical Chemistry.Materials Engineering.363.7394091638Cocca Mariacristinaedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtDi Pace Emiliaedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtErrico Maria Emanuelaedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtGentile Gennaroedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMontarsolo Alessioedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMossotti Raffaellaedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910299404803321Proceedings of the International conference on microplastic pollution in the Mediterranean sea1753039UNINA
