Freshwater Microplastics

“The present book is the first one to address the issue of MP in a freshwater context. Since it is a complex issue, it deserves a transdisciplinary perspective. This goal has been achieved by the individual and well-known authors and even more by the editors. This makes the book pretty unique. … This book is addressed to scientists and PhD students working in the environmental field of water analysis and toxicity.” (Thomas P. Knepper, Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, Vol. 410, 2018)
