Nano/Micro-Plastics Toxicity on Food Quality and Food Safety: Volume 103 (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780323988353)

Nano/micro-Plastics Toxicity on Food Quality and Food Safety, Volume 103 in the Advances in Food and Nutrition Research series, provides in-depth reviews on recent developments in nano/micro-plastics toxicity on food quality and food safety research. Topics covered in this volume include the sources and occurrence of nano/microplastics in terrestrial/marine environments, release mechanisms of microplastics from packaging into foods, influencing factors of microplastic on food products, their translocation and accumulations potential, microplastic as a critical vector for pollutant transfer, toxicology impact, cycling in the marine environment and seafood safety, and more.

Moreover, microplastic migration by enhancing public awareness as well as improving waste management, complications and toxicity associated with the presence of nano/microplastics and quantification methods are highlighted. Finally, existing regulations and requirements of a robust framework of nano/microplastics are provided.
