What is Impact of Microplastics and Nanoplastics Interactions with Other Contaminants in Environment about?

The urbanization around the globe along with huge growth in population increased the use of variety of polymeric substances of light weight, high durability, and cheaper in nature, which are commonly known as plastics. The demand of plastic material-based accessories in the industries as well as for the domestic purposes is very high. The microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) are the small fragments of those polymeric materials of micro and nanoscale, respectively. Due to nondegradable nature, when released in the environment, they persist for a very long period. Further, these tiny particles have a good interaction with other compounds such as organic pollutants, metal ions, and toxicants. When combined together, they generate detrimental effects on the environment and consequently affect the human and animal life. Due to very small size of these materials, they cannot be seen by naked eyes and are easily ingested by the wild and aquatics animals and may damage their cell wall too. The present chapter is composed of the important information regarding association of MPs and NPs with other compounds and additives, followed by various sorption mechanisms and the factors influen
