The book explores whether microplastics represent emerging contaminants in freshwater systems, an area that remains underrepresented to date.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGiven the complexity of the issue, the book covers the current state-of-research on microplastics in rivers and lakes, including analytical aspects, environmental concentrations and sources, modelling approaches, interactions with biota, and ecological implications. To provide a broader perspective, the book also discusses lessons learned from nanomaterials and the implications of plastic debris for regulation, politics, economy, and society. In a research field that is rapidly evolving, it offers a solid overview for environmental chemists, engineers, and toxicologists, as wellas water managers and policy-makers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martin Wagner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3319616145\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783319616148\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/29\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 303\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.75d","brand":"Martin Wagner","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44125962174719,"sku":"9783319616148","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_57265a51-c545-44cf-9337-d96a2a832cfd.jpg?v=1687445533","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/freshwater-microplastics-martin-wagner-9783319616148","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
