Microplastics-Associated Pollutants in Aquatic Environments offers a groundbreaking exploration of the multifaceted impact of microplastics in aquatic ecosystems. This comprehensive book delves into the roles of microplastics as sources, vectors, and co-pollutants, highlighting their complex interactions with chemical contaminants. Through detailed sections, and visually captivating resources, this necessary guide examines the leaching of plastic additives, the sorption and transport of synthetic chemicals, and the biological uptake of pollutants by plants, fish, and invertebrates. Rich with definitions, case studies, and cutting-edge research, this volume also addresses the broader ecological implications and proposes innovative risk assessment and management strategies. Essential for students, researchers, policymakers, and environmentalists, this book provides critical insights of high pedagogical value, and actionable solutions to tackle the pressing environmental challenge of microplastic pollution.

Offers visual storytelling elements to explain complex interactions between microplastics and pollutants in aquatic systems, making technical concepts accessible
Includes frameworks for assessing combined risks of microplastics and chemical pollutants in aquatic systems
Provides step-by-step analysis of sorption mechanisms, transport pathways, and uptake processes, supported by real-world case studies
