Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Every time a vehicle accelerates onto a highway, it leaves behind an invisible trail of destruction that stretches far beyond the exhaust pipe. We have spent decades scrutinizing tailpipe emissions and carbon footprints, ignoring the microscopic fragments silently peeling off the tires of millions of cars.The hidden ecological mystery lies in the friction between synthetic rubber and harsh asphalt. This daily, microscopic shedding has silently compounded into a monumental disaster, creating the largest, least regulated source of microplastic pollution in our oceans. The friction dust washes into storm drains, infiltrates river systems, and completely bypasses modern water filtration technology.This meticulously researched documentary text uncovers the massive scale of tire-wear pollution and the automotive industry's reluctance to address it. By exploring advanced toxicology reports, oceanic current data, and polymer chemistry, the book exposes the silent poisoning of global waterways by the very infrastructure that drives modern society.Arm yourself with the scientific truth behind this ignored environmental catastrophe. Dive into these critical research findings to understand the hidden cost of human mobility and advocate for sustainable transportation solutions.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book sheds light on the causes, effects, and control of microplastic pollution, providing valuable insights into the tools and techniques for analysis, the impact on ecosystems, and the potential risks to human well-being. The editors focus on the urgency of addressing this global environmental challenge through collaborative efforts and sustainable solutions. This reference features 10 edited chapters covering multiple aspects of microplastic pollution. The book introduces the reader to various tools and techniques used to analyze microplastic pollution in both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. It then examines the sources, pathways, and levels of microplastic contamination in the environment and explains how to assess the potential health risks for the nearby communities. The impact of microplastic on flora and fauna is presented in one chapter. To emphasize the importance of accurate assessment methods in understanding the extent and impact of microplastic contamination. The editors also present a case study conducted in Thoothukudi, South India, to explore the implications of microplastic pollution on human health. The book also provides information on solutions to microplastic pollution including the use of bioplastics and removal techniques.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book addresses the emergent need to act on reducing or getting rid of micro plastic pollution, to achieve a sustainable environment. Microplastics are small plastic pieces, which are less than five millimeters long which can be harmful to our oceans and aquatic life. These predominantly include microfibers from clothing, microbeads, and plastic pellets. Microplastics impact aquatic creatures, turtles and birds. According to the first study on estimation of human ingestion of microplastic, on average a person consumes at least 50,000 particles of microplastic a year and breathes a similar quantity. Ingested microplastic particles can physically damage organs and also compromise immune function and stymie growth and reproduction. This book presents six informative chapters in order to alleviate the above mentioned issues .

Zustand: Gut. Zustand: Gut | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | This first of this set of books presents the various sustainable approaches in terms of circular economy and micro plastic pollution pertaining to the textiles and fashion supply chain. Sustainability is one of the important aspects in today¿s industrial context, which is followed by every industrial sector with no exception to textiles and fashion. Sustainability and strict adherence to the principles of sustainability has become one of the essential needs in industry. There are countless measures in terms of various approaches to make the textiles and fashion sector sustainable. These measures, but not limited to, range from innovating and implementing new fibres and raw materials, introducing innovative manufacturing methods, chemicals, processes to focus on all the possible stages of a textile product¿s life cycle from cradle to grave. These approaches include making the textiles and fashion sector circular and also development of new products from sustainable raw materials/processes or combination of both.
