It has gained the attention of the general public, governments, and environmental scientists worldwide. To date, the main focus has been on plastics in the marine environment, but interest in the presence and effects of plastics in freshwaters has increased in the recent years. The occurrence of plastics within inland lakes and rivers, as well as their biota, has been demonstrated. Experiments with freshwater organisms have started to explore the direct and indirect effects resulting from plastic exposure. There is a clear need for further research, and a dedicated space for its dissemination. This book is devoted to highlighting current research from around the world on the prevalence, fate, and effects of plastic in freshwater environments.Research & information: generalbicsscplasticsplastic debrisAfrican great lakesfreshwaterbeach clean-upcitizen sciencemicroplasticEnchytraeus crypticusenchytraeidsavoidance testtoxicityoxidative stresscatalaseglutathione S-transferasepolyethyleneTubifex tubifexaquatic oligochetesmortalityglutathione reductaseperoxidasemicroplastic exposurefreshwater environmentsmicroplasticsAfricaingestionNile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)catfish (Bagrus Bajad)fibersATR-FTIR spectroscopyplastic pollutionoystersMississippi Soundfluorescence microscopylaser direct infrared analysisLDIRbulk water samplingBonnet Carré SpillwaydysbiosismicrobiomeResearch & information: generalKhan Farhanedt1294147Khan FarhanothBOOK9910557334103321Prevalence, Fate and Effects of Plastic in Freshwater Environments3022929UNINA
