We are proud to announce the publication of the book โ๐๐ข๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐๐ฌ ๐ข๐ง ๐
๐จ๐๐ฎ๐ฌ: ๐๐๐ข๐๐ง๐๐, ๐๐ฆ๐ฉ๐๐๐ญ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐งโ by Dr. Rey Y. Capangpangan of Mindanao State University at Naawan, together with his co-author, Prof. Arnold C. Alguno of Mindanao State UniversityโIligan Institute of Technology. The book was published by ๐๐ฉ๐ซ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐ซ ๐๐ก๐๐ฆ.
From understanding where microplastics come from to exploring how societies can respond, the book bridges scientific evidence with practical action, offering a broader perspective on one of todayโs most persistent environmental challenges.
Unlike a single research study, the book brings together multiple dimensions of the microplastics issue, from their origins, formation, and movement across terrestrial, aquatic, and atmospheric environments to their ecological impacts, potential human health concerns, and wider economic and social implications. It also examines key areas such as microplastic detection and analysis, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of the issue from both scientific and applied perspectives.
Beyond understanding the problem, the book places strong emphasis on solutions and action. It discusses existing policies and regulations, emerging technological and scientific innovations, community and individual initiatives, and strategies that support mitigation and circular economy approaches. By bringing together scientific knowledge, real-world perspectives, and actionable responses, the book serves as a valuable resource for researchers, educators, policymakers, environmental practitioners, students, and other stakeholders working toward more sustainable approaches to plastic pollution.
This scholarly achievement reflects the continuing commitment of MSU at Naawan to advancing environmental research and translating scientific knowledge into meaningful responses to pressing global challenges. Through this publication, Dr. Capangpangan and his co-author contribute to the growing international discourse on microplastic pollution while highlighting the importance of science, innovation, policy, and collective action in protecting environmental and human well-being.
More than a publication milestone, this book adds an important scholarly resource to the growing body of knowledge on microplastic pollution and further strengthens the visibility of MSU at Naawan in research addressing globally relevant environmental challenges.
Once again, congratulations to Dr. Rey Y. Capangpangan and Prof. Arnold C. Alguno on this significant academic achievement!
