Reflecting on current research and reader interest, the book focuses mainly on micro-scale and nanoscale plastics in the ocean environment, including the human impacts of these that reach consumers via seafood. Recognizing that in the face of future growth in plastics use in packaging, how the mismanagement of plastic waste, especially urban litter, is largely responsible for plastics pollution, the book also addresses human behavioral aspects of the problem. This collection of expert perspectives is arranged in a logical sequence to guide the reader through this multi-disciplinary subject area. An overview of the field sets the scope of the discussion and highlights its importance to related fields of science, as well as to the everyday life of consumers. Written and edited at a level that is jargon-free and accessible to readers with a background in basic chemistry and biology, this text provides engineers and scientists with a common vocabulary to explore this critical field"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aMarine pollution 606 $aMarine resources conservation 606 $aPlastic marine debris 615 0$aMarine pollution. 615 0$aMarine resources conservation. 615 0$aPlastic marine debris. 676 $a363.7394 702 $aAndrady$b A.
