The μMED Conference is a leading international event dedicated to microplastic pollution, bringing together experts from scientific and industrial sectors, policymakers, and environmental organisations to explore innovative materials, technologies, and strategies for detecting and mitigating this pressing global challenge.
Key conference topics included:
- Analysis and monitoring of micro- and nanoplastics across environmental compartments (water, air, soil, sediment)
- Innovative and sustainable technologies for plastic reduction, recovery, and recycling
- Impacts of microplastics on ecosystems and food chains
- Human health implications and exposure assessment
- Environmental policies, public awareness, and socio-economic impacts
Participation in this conference represents an important step toward strengthening international cooperation and advancing research on microplastic pollution, circular economy approaches, and environmental sustainability.
