Microplastics in Human Consumption

This book highlights plastic pollution, especially microplastics, and the consequences on the environment and on the human diet through food chain/web transmission and contamination through processing and packaging of various human food items including water and beverages. This book provides a detailed outlook on the microplastics, their origin, distribution, categories, presence in human food items and their impact on the ecosystem, organisms and so forth. It covers updated information on microplastic contamination in the biotic and abiotic products of the sea/ocean, the contamination of microplastics in drinking water/bottled water, honey, sugar and so forth.
Features:
Discusses the presence of microplastics in matrices prone to human consumption.
Includes general information on microplastics, their origin, types, shapes, size and nomenclature.
Reviews microplastics in different types of human consumable items.
Illustrates fundamental methods and techniques used in microplastics research.
Explores overall impacts of microplastics in the organisms contaminated with the same.
This book is aimed at researchers, graduate students and faculty members interested in plastic pollution, microplastics, environmental science, food consumption and analysis.
