Micronanoplastics: From Source to Sink, 1st Edition, provides a thorough investigation into the origin, movement, and biological consequences of fine synthetic plastic debris. Developed specifically for graduate students, postgraduate students, and active researchers, this academic reference details how microparticulate pollutants migrate through natural pathways and accumulate within environmental sinks.

The text systematically analyzes pollution effects on soil, water, and air properties across varying ecosystems. Specialized sections evaluate how these microparticles accelerate ocean acidification and destabilize ambient physical conditions. In addition, the volume examines how exposure induces dysbiosis of intestinal gut microbiota in living beings, while documenting potential health risks to humans resulting from plastic contamination.

To support applied learning, the work includes case studies detailing technologies and interventions to reduce micronanoplastics emissions. The material completes its survey by evaluating bioplastics as potential solutions alongside structured mitigation strategies to address long-term polymer accumulation across vulnerable habitats.
