About the book

One Day National Seminar on Advanced Nanomaterials for Microplastic Mitigation is a comprehensive compilation of research papers presented at the National Seminar held on 20th February 2026 at Indra Ganesan Institutions, Tiruchirapalli. Sponsored by the Tamil Nadu State Council for Science and Technology, this volume brings together innovative scientific contributions addressing one of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time-microplastic pollution.

This edited volume, curated by Dr.G.Balakrishnan and Dr.M.Anusuya, explores the intersection of nanotechnology, environmental science, public health, and sustainable development. The proceedings feature over 120 scholarly papers covering a wide spectrum of themes including:
➤ Detection and quantification of microplastics in water, soil, and marine systems
➤ Nanomaterial-based adsorption and degradation technologies
➤ Nano-enabled membrane filtration systems
➤ Bio-inspired and green synthesized nanomaterials
➤ AI and sensor-based monitoring systems
➤ Microplastics and their impacts on human health
➤ Siddha perspectives integrated with modern nanotechnology
➤ Sustainable water purification and waste management strategies

The book highlights cutting-edge advancements in nano-enabled solutions for sensing, removal, mitigation, and risk assessment of microplastics. It also addresses environmental transport, ecological consequences, healthcare implications, and policy-level considerations.
