One Health Approaches to Nanoplastics Contamination: Biotechnological and AI Solutions

Nanoplastic contamination has emerged as a critical and underexplored global threat, driven by the fragmentation of plastic waste and its pervasive infiltration into ecosystems, food chains, and biological systems. These particles, owing to their nanoscale size, high surface reactivity, and capacity to transport toxic chemicals and pathogens, pose complex risks to environmental integrity, human health, and biodiversity. Despite rapidly growing evidence of their impact, research and policy responses remain splintered across disciplines. One Health Approaches to Nanoplastics Contamination: Biotechnological and AI Solutions offers the first fully integrated treatment of nanoplastics contamination through a One Health lens, uniting environmental science, toxicology, biotechnology, and artificial intelligence. It presents foundational concepts alongside advanced analytical and toxicological frameworks, solution-oriented biotechnological approaches, regulatory challenges, and future research directions. Drawing on up-to-date literature, original case studies, curated datasets, and actionable recommendations, the book delivers both scientific depth and practical relevance. With coverage spanning biotechnological interventions, public health systems, and data-driven decision frameworks, it serves as a comprehensive academic resource for graduate and doctoral students, as well as risk assessment professionals, toxicologists, environmental scientists, water treatment engineers, food scientists, and more.
