This volume provides a comprehensive, holistic analysis on the plastic cycle and its subsequent effects on biota, food security, and human exposure. Importantly, global environmental change and its associated, systems-level processes, including atmospheric deposition, ecosystem complexity, UV exposure, wind patterns, water stratification, ocean circulation, etc., are all important direct and indirect factors governing the fate, transport and biotic and abiotic processing of plastic particles across ecosystem types. Furthermore, the distribution of plastic in the ocean is not independent of terrestrial ecosystem dynamics, since much of the plastic in marine ecosystems originates from land and should therefore be evaluated in the context of the larger plastic cycle. Changes in species size, distribution, habitat, and food web complexity, due to global environmental change, will likely alter trophic transfer dynamics and the ecological effects of nano- and microplastics. The fate and transport dynamics of plastic particles are influenced by their size, form, shape, polymer type, additives, and overall ecosystem conditions. In addition to the risks that plastics pose to the total environment, the potential impacts on human health and exposure routes, including seafood consumption, and air and drinking water need to be assessed in a comprehensive and quantitative manner. Here I present a holistic and interdisciplinary book volume designed to advance the understanding of plastic cycling in the environment with an emphasis on sources, fate and transport, ecotoxicology, climate change effects, food security, microbiology, sustainability, human exposure and public policy. 410 0$aEnvironmental Contamination Remediation and Management 517 $aMicroplastic in the Environment 606 $aEnvironmental management$2bicssc 606 $aEnvironmental science, engineering & technology$2bicssc 606 $aEnvironmental medicine$2bicssc 606 $aClimate change$2bicssc 610 $abiomonitoring of plastic particles 610 $aexotoxicology of plastic pollution 610 $aplastic debris 610 $amicroplastics 610 $ananoplastics 610 $aenvironmental health 610 $awastewater management 610 $aopen access 615 7$aEnvironmental management 615 7$aEnvironmental science, engineering & technology 615 7$aEnvironmental medicine 615 7$aClimate change 700 $aBank$b Michael S$01097253 702 $aBank$b Michael S$4oth 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910502668803321 996 $aMicroplastic in the Environment$92869610 997 $aUNINA
