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. 606 $aResearch and information: general$2bicssc 607 $aMurntuluk / Catfish (Central NT, North NT SE52-03)$2aiatsisp 610 $aAfrica 610 $aAfrican great lakes 610 $aaquatic oligochetes 610 $aATR-FTIR spectroscopy 610 $aavoidance test 610 $abeach clean-up 610 $aBonnet Carre?
