Micro(nano)plastics in the Aquatic Environment: Fate, Toxicology, and Management, Volume Eleven explores a wide breadth of chapters, reflecting the experiences of groups of researchers from different countries on essential aspects of the context of plastic pollution. The book provides insights in chapters Plastic pollution in the aquatic ecosystem: an emerging threat and its mechanisms, Behavior of micro(nano)plastics in the aquatic environment and influencing factors, Analysis and distribution characteristics of micro(nano)plastics in the water environment, Interactions between microplastics and primary producers in aquatic ecosystems, Release of micro(nano)plastics from face masks into the marine environment: measurements and ecotoxicity, and more.

Other chapters cover The ecology of microbial communities on microplastics, Metals on microplastics and their environmental consequences in freshwater ecosystems, Effect of biofilm attachment on the fate of microplastics in the aquatic environment, Micro(nano)plastic pollution in the global mangrove ecosystem: a comprehensive review on the sources, fates, and effects, Effects of microplastics on amphibian performance and survival: current knowledge and research gaps, Microplastics in fishes: Occurrence, impacts, and future perspectives, and much more.
