Bu e-kitob haqida
"An excellent starting place for research on plastic and its environmental impact." – CHOICE
Plastic plays a vital role in today's world but has become increasingly problematic. This book discusses the history and evolution of plastic, its many uses, and the implications that it has on our health and environment.
Beginning with a history of plastic, from the first scientific discovery of the material to its diversity of forms and uses in the present day, this volume delves into the problems and controversies concerning plastic and microplastics, such as the pollution of oceans, rivers, and streams; its exceptionally long shelf life; its contribution to air pollution; and ingestion of microplastics by marine life. The book also discusses both implemented and proposed solutions to problems associated with the manufacture and use of plastics and microplastics.
A perspectives chapter provides essays from a variety of voices on the topic. Profiles of key people and organizations, such as Greenpeace, are also included. Additional chapters include data and documents, a chronology, and a comprehensive resource list to assist students in further research.
