It includes background information on plastics and additives chemistry, and their observed or potential effects on living organisms as well as the oceanographic aspects of marine debris dispersion. The respective chapters provide insights into the sorption/desorption of chemicals in and out of plastics, the mechanisms and kinetics, but also the scale of the concentrations of chemicals found in marine debris, particularly in microplastics. The occurrence of the various chemicals is analyzed, as well as the distribution profiles of the chemicals in microplastics throughout the world’s oceans. The implications of the fact that plastics carry within them several chemicals are discussed in detail. In closing, new research topics that warrant further attention are identified. The book will appeal to all scientists who are already working or interested in starting to work on the topic of marine debris, as well as policymakers, NGOs and the broader informed public. 0aEnvironmental chemistry. 0aPolymers. 0aWater. 0aHydrology. 0aFreshwater ecology. 0aMarine ecology.14aEnvironmental Chemistry.24aPolymers.24aWater.24aFreshwater and Marine Ecology.1 aTakada, Hideshige.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aKarapanagioti, Hrissi K.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978331995566708iPrinted edition:z978331995567408iPrinted edition:z9783030070595 0aThe Handbook of Environmental Chemistry,v7840uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-95568-1  2ddccEBK  aEarth and Environmental Science (SpringerNature-11646)  aEarth and Environmental Science (R0) (SpringerNature-43711)
