Microplastics in Urban Water Management

Description

Microplastics in Urban Water Management enables readers to understand the true occurrence and fate of microplastics in drinking water, wastewater, sludge, and receiving water.

Microplastics in Urban Water Management focuses on the occurrence, fate, effect, and removal of microplastics in urban water management systems. It summarises relevant methods for enhancing microplastics removal and degradation, providing comprehensive data from source to sink, including the occurrence and fate of microplastics. The book covers practical applications, offering theoretical guidance for controlling or mitigating microplastics pollution and its environmental risks.

The work includes detailed multidisciplinary information on the behaviour of microplastics in urban water management and recent advances in nanoplastics, i.e., nano-sized microplastics, in the aquatic environment.

In Microplastics in Urban Water Management, readers can expect to find detailed information on sample topics such as:

Techniques for microplastics detection, including sample collection, purification, identification, and quantitation, plus the definition, emergence, occurrence, and removal of microplastics.
Elements of microplastics in wastewater treatment plants, including the ecotoxicological effect on the biological treatment of wastewater and sludge.
The impact of microplastic discharge from wastewater treatment plants as a significant source of microplastics in receiving waters.
Potential environmental risks of microplastic contamination in receiving water systems and evidence that microplastics can absorb, collect, and transport environmental contaminants as vectors.

For practising toxicologists, biologists, environmental and chemical engineers, and ecology professionals, as well as researchers and graduate students in these disciplines, Microplastics in Urban Water Management is an essential all-in-one guide to understanding the current state of microplastics in our world and potential solutions for the future.
