International Roundtable Webinar on "Microplastic and Nanoplastic Pollution in Different Environments: Freshwater, Marine, Air and Soil"

Microplastics and nanoplastics are collectively called "Micro(nano)plastics [MNPs]" and constitute the majority of plastic contaminants. Globally, MPs are ubiquitous and NPs have also been observed in environmental samples. As MPs are inhaled or consumed through food or drinking water, MPs have been detected in hundreds of animal and plant species. Since MNPs are small, ubiquitous, and persistent, their potential toxicity and health effects have drawn significant attention and prompted a rapid increase in research. This event aims to bring together leading academicians, scientists, researchers, industrialists, policy makers and research scholars to share and exchange their experiences and research findings on all aspects of Microplastics and Nanoplastics. And this event is expected to develop collaborations, networking and disseminate knowledge regarding the recent innovations, trends, concerns and practical challenges and their solutions in the field of MP/NP pollution.

And this event is expected to develop collaborations, networking and disseminate knowledge regarding the recent innovations, trends, concerns and practical challenges and their solutions in the field of MP/NP pollution. Prospective authors are requested to submit quality research articles on the MNPs pollution.
