Case Studies Illustrating the Occurrence and Impact of Micropollutants in Different Environment
AI summary Read the abstract
This chapter presents case studies on micropollutant occurrence across different environments, examining how microplastics, heavy metals, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and industrial chemicals interact and persist in ecosystems. The co-occurrence of these contaminants is particularly concerning because microplastics act as vectors that adsorb and concentrate other toxic pollutants, amplifying their bioavailability and health risks.
Micropollutants, including microplastics, heavy metals, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and industrial chemicals, are emerging contaminants of significant concern due to their persistence and potential toxic effects on the environment. Although present at trace levels,...
