It provides a novel theoretical approach for the combined risks from MPs and coexisting contaminants, and advanced three-dimensional modeling techniques for different MPs’ dispersal and transport behaviors in urban waterways. Additionally, this book presents a scientifically robust investigation on the correlations between various influential factors and heterogeneity in relation to MP presence in river systems. The new knowledge presented would be of particular interest to readers such as urban water management professionals, urban plastic waste regulators, decision-makers, urban planners, and water environment quality model developers, as it provides practical solutions and recommendations for plastic-polluted river quality improvement from a risk management perspective.SpringerBriefs in Water Science and Technology,2194-7252MicroplasticsPlastic marine debrisUrban watershedsMicroplastics.Plastic marine debris.Urban watersheds.363.738He Beibei1345815MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910678247503321Environmental risks posed by microplastics in urban waterways3373333UNINA
