Microplastic: Distribution, Avoidance, Usage

Autor Andreas Fath
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 oct 2024
The book presents the entire spectrum of the microplastics problem in our waters, from the collection of water samples to their analysis and interpretation. As part of the "R(h)eines Wasser" project, the author swam the Rhine and, based on this experience, addresses a sensitive issue that will occupy humanity for many years to come.

Notă biografică

Prof. Dr. Andreas Fath (*1965) began his career at KIT (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology) in the Institute for Microstructure Technology, where he focused on the development, process management, and process control of alloy electroplating for micro-galvanic forming. He then spent many years as a chief chemist in the industry, responsible for the development of new products, processes, and surfaces. In 2011, he received the Fraunhofer UMSICHT Science Award for an electrochemical process for the degradation of PFTs (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances). Since 2011, he has been a professor of physical chemistry at Furtwangen University. As part of the "Rheines Wasser" project, the "swimming professor" swam and analyzed the Rhine, drawing media attention to water protection.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

Microplastics in our waters and organisms, in connection with the plastic pollution of the Earth, is a highly topical issue that will occupy our generation and those to come. This textbook provides an overview of the formation, occurrence, components, and investigation methods of microplastics. Analytical techniques and instruments for microplastic characterization, along with the fundamentals and results from product and environmental studies, are presented. Approaches to plastic waste reduction and the threats to our environment are also discussed.
The book is a symbiosis of practical experience (REACH) and the interpretation of results from the first-time sampling of inland waters. From the perspective of mass production of plastic products and wastewater technology, it presents a development that considers microplastics as an opportunity. Alongside the imperative of plastic waste prevention, increasing the recycling rate is the order of the day.

A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation.

Caracteristici

Microplastics are currently one of THE major environmental issues The author is known as the "Rhine Swimmer"; he swam the Rhine from its source to its mouth, collecting water samples The book covers the full range: from sample collection to analysis and interpretation
