Book Synopsis Policies to Reduce Microplastics Pollution in Water Focus on Textiles and Tyres by : OECD
Book excerpt: Microplastics are ubiquitous in the natural environment. This report synthesises the current state of knowledge on the sources, fate and risks of microplastics pollution. It then focuses on two sources of microplastics pollution, textile products and vehicle tyres, due to their substantial contribution to global microplastics emissions and currently largely absent policy frameworks to mitigate them.
