With the theme “Tracing the Invisible: Scientific Frontiers in Microplastics & Pollution Control”, ICM2026 highlights emerging scientific frontiers, innovative analytical techniques, risk assessment approaches, and policy-driven solutions addressing the growing challenges of microplastic pollution. The conference serves as a bridge between scientific research and real-world applications, promoting evidence-based strategies for environmental sustainability and pollution management.

ICM2026 provides a dynamic platform for oral and poster presentations, keynote lectures, technical sessions, and networking opportunities, encouraging collaboration across disciplines and sectors. Through this initiative, ICM2026 aspires to contribute meaningfully to global efforts in understanding microplastics and advancing effective pollution control strategies for a sustainable future.
