International Conference on Marine Microplastics and Pollution (ICMMPP - 26)

This session will explore the various sources of microplastics entering marine environments, including urban runoff, wastewater discharge, and maritime activities. Understanding these pathways is crucial for developing effective mitigation strategies.

This track focuses on the effects of microplastics on marine organisms, including bioaccumulation and trophic transfer. Researchers will present findings on how microplastics influence ecosystem health and species interactions.

This session will address the extent of microplastic contamination in marine sediments and its implications for benthic organisms. Discussions will include analytical methods for assessing sediment quality and the potential for long-term ecological effects.

This track will examine the relationship between water quality parameters and the presence of microplastics in marine environments. Researchers will discuss the implications for human health and aquatic ecosystems.

This session will highlight innovative analytical techniques for the detection and characterization of microplastics in marine environments. Emphasis will be placed on improving accuracy and reproducibility in microplastic research.

This track will delve into the chemical composition of microplastics found in marine ecosystems. Understanding the chemical properties is essential for assessing the potential risks to marine life and human health.

This session will explore the pathways through which humans may be exposed to microplastics, including seafood consumption and water contamination. The health implications of such exposure will be critically evaluated.

This track will focus on effective waste management practices aimed at reducing plastic pollution in marine environments. Discussions will include policy development and community engagement strategies.

This session will present innovative remediation techniques for addressing microplastic pollution in marine ecosystems. Researchers will discuss the efficacy and feasibility of various approaches, including bioremediation and physical removal.

This track will focus on methodologies for assessing the ecological risks posed by microplastics in marine environments. The session will emphasize the importance of integrating ecological data into risk assessment frameworks.

This session will explore the latest monitoring techniques for tracking microplastic pollution in marine environments. Emphasis will be placed on the development of standardized protocols and technologies for effective monitoring.
