Inhaltsangabe

Microplastics and Human Health: Global Perspectives in Environmental and Occupational Health – Volume III brings the three-volume series to its practical conclusion by examining how emerging scientific evidence can be translated into risk assessment, occupational protection, environmental management, regulation, public policy and future action.
Building on the scientific foundations established in Volumes I and II, this volume focuses on the decisions that follow from what is currently known about microplastic and nanoplastic exposure.
Readers will explore:

• Human health risk assessment and the challenges of uncertainty
• Occupational exposure and worker health
• Workplace monitoring, exposure assessment and the hierarchy of controls
• Environmental and public health risk management
• Regulation, standards and international governance
• Plastic pollution prevention and circular-economy strategies
• Sustainable materials and technological solutions
• Risk communication, environmental justice and global equity
• Research gaps, nanoplastics, biomonitoring and future scientific priorities

Particular attention is given to distinguishing hazard from risk, exposure from disease, and emerging evidence from established conclusions.
Rather than presenting microplastics as either harmless or inevitably dangerous, the book takes a balanced, evidence-based approach to managing uncertainty. It considers how established environmental, occupational health and pollution-control principles can support proportionate preventive action while scientific understanding continues to develop.
Written for environmental and occupational health professionals, health and safety practitioners, occupational hygienists, researchers, regulators, engineers, sustainability professionals, policymakers and students, Volume III provides a practical framework for moving from scientific evidence to responsible decision-making.
As the final volume in the series, it addresses the essential question:
How should society assess, manage and reduce the risks associated with microplastic pollution while the science continues to evolve?
