Srijan Goswami, Moharana Choudhury, Palas Samanta (Editors)
This book offers a comprehensive, multidisciplinary overview of how micro- and nano-plastics (MNPs) are generated, transported, and transformed in the environment, and how they affect ecosystems and human health. It connects environmental toxicology, ecology, medicine, and public health to explain why MNPs are now considered a critical global risk factor.
The volume examines degradation of plastics, identification and quantification methods, and contamination of air, water, soil, agricultural systems, and food chains. Special attention is given to ecological dysbiosis, cardiovascular impacts, immune and gut disruption, carcinogenic risks, and biodiversity loss, framed within the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Written by experts from academia, research institutes, and environmental organisations worldwide, this reference work supports evidence-based policymaking, risk assessment, and nature-based solutions to reduce plastic pollution and protect public health.
