Microplastics: From Pollution to Solutions offers a definitive, solutions-oriented blueprint for tackling one of the most pervasive environmental crises of our time. Bridging the critical gap between environmental toxicology and ecological engineering, this multidisciplinary volume provides a comprehensive overview of microplastics-from their origins and pathways to cutting-edge remediation technologies.The book first details how these contaminants cycle through ecosystems and impact human health across different age groups. It then shifts focus to actionable interventions, offering robust frameworks for riverine monitoring and laboratory protocols. At the core of this text is an in-depth exploration of biosorption-utilising sustainable, biomass-derived materials to capture microplastics. Readers will find scalable engineering designs for continuous-flow columns alongside strict life-cycle sustainability and cost assessments.Ideal for researchers, environmental engineers, and policymakers, this text transforms ecological concern into scalable, economically viable engineering realities.
