- W4293363595 abstract "Microplastics had been previously excluded from the data on global plastic pollution. Reports of findings from recent years have placed microplastics higher up the priority list. Microplastics have made their way into groundwater, soil, and the oceans. They have also been found to be present in the air samples. Thanks to studies from several research groups we can now identify the main sources of microplastics and their pathway to the world’s ocean. While previous reports suggest that plastics released from synthetic textiles containing polyester were the leading source of microplastics, even more, recent studies that focused on microplastics released from paints and coating suggest that paints contribute more to the microplastics in the environment than even textiles. Parameters that affect the rate of microplastic release include washing methods, construction styles in case of release from painted buildings and structures, age of products like tires, climate, and weather conditions. These parameters vary across different regions and so does the impact of microplastic pollution and how it is addressed. Therefore, in this chapter, we will explore the issue of microplastics with a focus on the African region. It discusses microplastics in general as a global issue and a closer look at factors within the African continent that may influence the generation of microplastics from different sources in the region. In the process, the environmental and health implications of microplastics are explored as well as other issues." @default.
