Microplastics and Nanoplastics in the Environment

No customer reviews yet ISBN 9781837675180

Micro- and nanoplastics are small plastic particles that can arise from the breakdown of discarded plastic materials, wear from regular use, or even spills of plastic manufacturing materials such as nurdles. Microplastics typically range in size from about 5 millimeters down to the lower micrometer scale, while nanoplastics extend to the smallest particles, with sizes down to 1 nanometer. Both types have now been found in every biome on the planet and can be detected in the air, in water, and even in the organs of the human body.

Taking a broad look at where micro- and nanoplastics are coming from, the processes that are causing their distribution in the environment and their overall fate and impact Microplastics and Nanoplastics in the Environment is an ideal resource for researchers interested in environmental pollutants in general, plastic pollution in particular and pollution control, mitigation or remediation.

Green and Sustainable Manufacturing of Advanced Material
<p>Sustainable development is a globally recognized mandate and it includes green or environment-friendly manufacturing practices. Such practices orchestrate with the self-healing and self-replenishing capability of natural ecosystems. Green manufacturing encompasses synthesis, processing, fabrication, and process optimization, but also testing, performance evaluation and reliability. The book shall serve as a comprehensive and authoritative resource on sustainable manufacturing of ceramics, metals and their composites. It is designed to capture the diversity and unity of methods and approaches to materials processing, manufacturing, testing and evaluation across disciplines and length scales. Each chapter incorporates in-depth technical information without compromising the delicate link between factual data and fundamental concepts or between theory and practice. Green and sustainable materials processing and manufacturing is designed as a key enabler of sustainable development.</p>
