Summary
This book chapter reviews how advances in polymer science over the past century and a half have made plastics ubiquitous, and how that has led to escalating micro- and nanoplastic contamination of aquatic environments worldwide. Understanding the origins and environmental behavior of these particles is foundational to assessing the risks they pose to aquatic life and human health.
Over the past century and a half, advancements in polymer science—encompassing both natural and synthetic materials—have led to the development of strong,
