Plastics and Environmental Sustainability

Presenting a clear, neutral analysis of the key plastic-related issues, "Environmental Impacts of Plastics" focuses on three key areas: plastics industry, post-consumer fate of plastics on land and in the oceans, and toxicity of plastics. Reviewing what is known, what that knowledge implies, and what research is missing, this valuable text for scientists and students provides a balanced and objective source of information, examining such pertinent issues as marine litter, migration of additives into food products, and the recovery of plastics.
