Microplastics
AI summary Read the abstract
This book pulls together existing research on microplastics, tiny plastic particles polluting our soil and water, explaining how they get there, how scientists detect them, and how harmful they may be. It matters because these particles can end up in the food and water we consume, and understanding cleanup methods is a key step toward reducing our exposure to them.
This book highlights microplastics pollution in land and water bodies, their hazardous effects, characterization approaches and treatment

Microbiological Interventions in Microplastics Remediation
AI summary Read the abstract
Tiny plastic particles called microplastics have become a major pollution problem, showing up in our water, food, and even our bodies, and current cleanup methods like filtering or chemical treatments are often too expensive or impractical to use widely. This book reviews emerging research on using bacteria and enzymes—nature's tiny recycling workers—to break down plastic waste more cheaply and sustainably. While this is a summary of existing science rather than new experiments, it points to a promising future where microbes could help reduce our exposure to microplastics, which matters since these particles have been linked to potential health concerns.
