Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This comprehensive volume delves into the pervasive threat of microplastic pollution and its profound impacts on human reproductive health. Tracing the historical rise and worldwide spread of microplastics, the book meticulously defines these contaminants, categorizes their primary and secondary origins, and explores their chemical makeup, environmental dispersal routes, and pathways of human exposure via ingestion, inhalation, and skin contact. Drawing on the latest toxicological research, it elucidates mechanisms like endocrine disruption, oxidative stress, inflammation, and cellular toxicity, while examining their targeted effects on male and female reproductive functions, fertility rates, pregnancy complications, and fetal development. Incorporating epidemiological insights, clinical applications in reproductive care, risk evaluation models, and practical mitigation approaches-from personal safeguards to global policies-the text identifies critical research voids and advocates for immediate regulatory interventions. Aimed at clinicians in reproductive medicine, toxicologists, environmental experts, policymakers, and scholars, this work underscores the imperative for collective action to safeguard human fertility and future generations against this insidious environmental hazard. …
