The book discusses the industrial and commercial production and generation of microplastics, including the history and evolution of microplastics and their impact on living organisms. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth petrochemical and bio-based microplastics are extensively covered with case studies from around the globe, particularly as they contribute to the pollution of air, land, oceans, and rivers, and the effects of being ingested by marine life. The book also covers theoretical studies, modeling, Life Cycle Assessment, and machine learning techniques. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book reviews the differences between primary and secondary microplastics, fragmentation of microplastics, and the specifics of how microplastics are eventually released into the environment.
