Nanoplastics
Description
This book presents various techniques used to screen, monitor, and identify nanoplastics in different mediums. The book also contains several remediation approaches for nanoplastics in humans as well as the environment. It presents systematic and detailed information about the sources, exposure, and harmful effects of nanoplastics. The major focus of the book is:
Nanoplastics occurrence, cause, and effect.
Identification techniques for nanoplastics.
Advancements in the monitoring of nanoplastics in humans and the environment.
Remediation methods for removing nanoplastics and minimizing their exposure.
