MICRO 2022, Atlas Edition: Plastic Pollution from MACRO to nano
The increasing accumulation of plastic pollution in the environment has been reported in the literature for more than 50 years and microplastics as a threat since 2004. Alongside, questions about plastics have also continued to multiply as the research community grows and public concern heightens. MICRO 2022 provides an opportunity to share what we know, fill in gaps, identify new questions and develop commitments to operationalise this knowledge into meaningful actions addressing plastic pollution from Macro to nano.
The international conference will take place from November 14-18, 2022.
