AI summary Read the abstract

This book introduces microplastics to a general readership, covering definitions, plastic additive health effects, types of microplastics, environmental detection methods, and links to human diseases. It serves as an accessible educational resource on how microplastics enter the food chain and may affect human health.

Microplastics are effects our marine ecosystems. This book introduces about microplastics and how microplastics effects our health.This book consists of eight chapters. The First Chapter give definition of polymers, plastics, biodegradation, and resins. The First Chapter also describes of resin identification code and various discovery in plastics industry. The Second Chapter deals with the different types of plastics additives and its health effects via food. The Third Chapter give definition of microplastics, nanoplastics, mesoplastics, microfiber, marine debris, nurdles, and microbeads. The Third Chapter also introduces the soureces and classification of microplastics, plastics waste generation per year in various country.The Fourth Chapter discusses plastics pollution causes and its effects. The Fifth Chapter has a special mention on plastics and its health effects. The Sixth Chapter provides on the microplastics sampling and microplastics identification. The Seventh Chapter describes about the microplastics sensor and its objectives. The Eight Chapter build a preliminary overview of single use plastics and how to reduceplastics pollution?
