Environmental Pollutants
ACS Fall 2024
Global Virtual Symposium
Environmental pollutants in different regions of world: Focus on sustainable development
Environmental pollutants in our planet are mainly present in the water, sediment and air. The day-to-day life cycle combined with industrial development has vastly increased during the past decade and it is affecting organisms and finally human health. Developmental activities in different countries have been directly focused on growth of cities and states in various countries. The development process and its subsequent activities includes physical, chemical and biological processes involving diverse matrices (air, water and sediments). The environmental processes on identifying the enrichment of pollutants (especially toxic metals, micro/nano plastics and hydrocarbons) have been developed in various laboratories/ institutes around the world and there are numerous methodologies that are being pursued to identify the level of pollutants in different matrices. Many processes involved in the development modifies or changes the natural environment into an artificial or modified environment where biogeochemical process plays a major role in all the three matrices.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What are Flash presentations?
They are brief, impactful, and convey information about a novel protocol, perspective, technique, or research results. For instance, one Flash Talk may describe an innovative interdisciplinary research outcome. Another may describe results for a pilot/prototype study.
-
Can I submit an abstract if I'm not an early career researcher?
This symposium focuses on early career researchers, but all researchers are welcome to attend. However, the format of the presentation will be 8 minutes flash talk.
-
What is the submission deadline for abstracts?
The submission deadline for abstracts is April 1, 11:59 PM ET.
-
What is the required format for abstracts?
Abstracts should be 2500 characters or less and include the title, author(s), and a concise description of your research.
-
Can I include images or figures in my abstract?
Yes, limited use of images or figures is permitted to enhance your abstract's content.
-
When will I know if my abstract is accepted?
Presenters can expect to receive their acceptance notices approximately 3 months before the meeting. Scheduling notices are sent periodically starting approximately 2 months before the meeting.
-
What if I can't attend the symposium on the scheduled date?
