商品描述
Plastics widespread use and ease of disposal after a single use mean they accumulate rapidly in landfills and the environment, often ending up in wastewater systems. Many of these microplastics are durable and take hundreds of years to degrade. This means that the plastic discarded today will remain in the environment, breaking down into microplastics that can be harmful to wildlife and ecosystems. For this reason, wastewater system pollution caused by microplastics is a complex and multidimensional issue. Effectively managing it requires the use of advanced technologies. This book explores key research topics related to microplastics in wastewater, providing practical solutions to mitigate environmental pollution. The book offers a comprehensive approach to discussing the limitations of current wastewater treatment processes for removing microplastics and suggests complementary treatment methods. The discharge of microplastics in water bodies is gaining global attention. It causes severe pollution, harms the aquatic environment, carries various types of contaminants, and indirectly enters the human body through the food chain. Wastewater system pollution and plastic contamination are global concerns that are closely linked to the policy objectives of governments worldwide. It is crucial to analyze the relationship between water system pollution and public health and adopt practical strategies to prevent health hazards. Continued research on this important topic is also necessary. The book contains information on the occurrence of microplastics in wastewater, their source of entry, and detection methods in samples. It also reports microplastic pollution sources that have a remarkable impact on municipal wastewater quality.
This book aims to propose treatment methods for analyzing the shapes, sizes, and composition of microplastics found in wastewater systems. The book delves into the most current scientific findings on emerging microplastic pollutants, emphasizing their potentiality and the dangers they bring. It will also present that microplastics can ease toxic contact with aquatic organisms. The book also reviews the most recent applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in wastewater treatment plants, aiming to optimize wastewater treatment processes and enhance water quality monitoring.

塑膠的廣泛使用及其一次性使用後的易於處置，意味著它們在垃圾填埋場和環境中迅速累積，常常最終進入廢水系統。這些微塑膠中的許多是耐用的，需數百年才能降解。這意味著今天丟棄的塑膠將會留在環境中，分解成對野生動物和生態系統有害的微塑膠。因此，由微塑膠引起的廢水系統污染是一個複雜且多維的問題。有效管理這一問題需要使用先進技術。本書探討與廢水中微塑膠相關的關鍵研究主題，提供減輕環境污染的實用解決方案。本書全面討論了當前廢水處理過程在去除微塑膠方面的局限性，並建議補充的處理方法。
水體中微塑膠的排放正受到全球關注。它造成嚴重污染，危害水生環境，攜帶各類污染物，並通過食物鏈間接進入人體。廢水系統污染和塑膠污染是全球關注的問題，與各國政府的政策目標密切相關。分析水系統污染與公共健康之間的關係並採取實用策略以防止健康危害至關重要。對這一重要主題的持續研究也是必要的。本書包含有關廢水中微塑膠的出現、進入來源及樣本檢測方法的信息。它還報告了對市政廢水質量有顯著影響的微塑膠污染來源。
本書旨在提出分析廢水系統中微塑膠形狀、大小和成分的處理方法。本書深入探討了有關新興微塑膠污染物的最新科學發現，強調其潛在性及帶來的危險。它還將展示微塑膠如何減少與水生生物的有毒接觸。本書還回顧了人工智慧（AI）在廢水處理廠中的最新應用，旨在優化廢水處理過程並增強水質監測。
