This book presents all of the most up-to-date research on microplastic pollution, identifies issues and proposes actions to be taken and solutions to be implemented in facing down this environmental threat. The book details a host of aspects related to microplastic pollution, including: causes and effects; the impact on different environments; the emerging threat of nanoplastics; detection systems for monitoring areas subject to pollution; the ramifications in regard to other types of pollutants; green approaches for the synthesis of environmentally-friendly polymers; and socio-economic and environmental impact assessment and risk analysis, including in regard to effects on the human food chain. The primary audience for the book are scientists and decision-makers from industries, international, national and local institutions, and NGOs. It offers comprehensive information on the origin of the problem, its impact on marine environments, with particular attention to the Mediterranean Sea and Coasts, and the current research activities and ongoing projects aimed at finding technical solutions to mitigate the phenomenon. 410 0$aSpringer Water,$x2364-8198 606 $aEnvironmental chemistry 606 $aEnvironment 606 $aPollution 606 $aPolymers 606 $aMaterials 606 $aEnvironmental Chemistry 606 $aEnvironmental Sciences 606 $aPollution 606 $aPolymers 606 $aMaterials Engineering 615 0$aEnvironmental chemistry. 615 0$aEnvironment. 615 0$aPollution. 615 0$aPolymers. 615 0$aMaterials. 615 14$aEnvironmental Chemistry. 615 24$aEnvironmental Sciences. 615 24$aPollution. 615 24$aPolymers. 615 24$aMaterials Engineering. 676 $a363.7394091638 676 $a363.7394091638 700 $aCocca$b Mariacristina$01435902 701 $aAmbrogi$b Veronica$01435903 701 $aAvolio$b Roberto$01435904 701 $aCastaldo$b Rachele$01435905 701 $aErrico$b Maria Emanuela$01435906 701 $aGentile$b Gennaro$01435907 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910755074703321 996 $aProceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Microplastic Pollution in the Mediterranean Sea$93593957 997 $aUNINA
