Wagner M., Lambert S. (Eds.) Freshwater Microplastics: Emerging Environmental Contaminants?

Springer International Publishing AG, 2018. — 308 p. — (The Handbook of Environmental Chemistry 58) — ISBN: 3319616145.This volume focuses on microscopic plastic debris, also referred to as microplastics, which have been detected in aquatic environments around the globe and have accordingly raised serious concerns. The book explores whether microplastics represent emerging contaminants in freshwater systems, an area that remains underrepresented to date.Microplastics Are Contaminants of Emerging Concern in Freshwater Environments: An Overview
