This book addresses pertinent issues relating to microplastic pollution including its sources and sink of the microplastics and their environmental fate. It focuses on the impacts of microplastic pollution on marine life and human health. Available conventional methods and future solutions for the prevention and control of the marine microplastic pollution, such as bacterial and marine fungus biodegradation, membrane technology, and bioengineered microbes are included along with limitations and future challenges.

Features: Provides detailed insight into the marine microplastics pollution, fate, health impacts, and removal technology; Reviews ecological risks and environmental fate of microplastic pollution to the marine ecosystem; Describes control and prevention methods of the microplastics pollution; Covers global legislature for the mitigation of microplastic to the marine environment; Discusses the role of community participation for the reduction of microplastic emissions; This book is aimed at researchers and professionals in environmental engineering, science, and chemistry, marine pollution, marine and aquatic science.
