This book covers the various sources, role of treatment technologies, system associated factors, and future challenges with reference to microplastics in wastewater treatment plants. It also introduces microplastics, their sources, governing factors, microbial diversity effects, and possible control approaches to minimize the exposure of microplastics to human beings. Modelling and distribution of microplastics, environmental sinks, bioindicators, and microplastics as vectors in wastewater treatment units are also discussed. · Focuses on microplastic pollution, mechanism of removal, treatment technologies, pathways, and fate in wastewater treatment system · Discusses the dispersion, survival, and removal efficiency linked factors for microplastics in wastewater treatment systems · Helps understand ‘microplastics removal’ centric sustainability aspects of wastewater treatment systems · Explores fate of microplastics in sludge handling systems Incorporates comparative case studies from developed and developing nations This book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in environmental science and engineering, water resources management, wastewater, and chemical engineering.
