Topics All Abstracts, Reviews, short articles, Full articles, Posters are welcomed related with any of the following research fields: 1. Green Chemistry Green Chemistry focuses on the design of products and processes that minimize or eliminate the use and generation of hazardous substances. Principles of Sustainable Synthesis Atom Economy: Maximizing the incorporation of all materials used in the process into the final product. Bio-based Feedstocks: Transitioning from petroleum-based precursors to renewable biological sources. Catalysis vs. Stoichiometric Reagents: Reducing waste through the use of reusable catalytic agents. Green Solvent Systems Supercritical fluids (e.g., CO2 extraction). Aqueous-phase chemistry (water as a solvent). Ionic liquids and deep eutectic solvents. Design for Degradation Biodegradable polymers and bioplastics. Molecular design to prevent bioaccumulation in fatty tissues. Non-persistent pesticide formulations. Energy Efficiency in Chemical Manufacturing Microwave-assisted synthesis. Photochemical and electrochemical processes. 2. Ecological Agriculture Ecological agriculture (Agroecology) applies ecological principles to the design and management of sustainable food systems. Soil Health and Carbon Sequestration The Soil Microbiome: Role of fungi and bacteria in nutrient cycling. Regenerative Tillage: Minimizing soil disturbance to maintain structure and carbon stores. Cover Cropping and Green Manures: Natural nitrogen fixation and erosion control. Biodiversity-Based Pest Management Integrated Pest Management (IPM): Reducing reliance on broad-spectrum synthetic toxins. Biological Controls: Using natural predators and pheromone traps. Polycultures and Intercropping: Using plant diversity to break pest cycles. Closed-Loop Nutrient Management Composting and anaerobic digestion of farm waste. Precision Agriculture: Using sensors to reduce fertilizer runoff (preventing eutrophication). Circular bio-economy in livestock and crop integration. 3. Public Health Public health in this context focuses on the prevention of disease and the promotion of wellness through a healthy environment. Environmental Epidemiology Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs): Studying the impact of pesticides and plastics on human hormones. Chronic Low-Dose Exposure: Assessing the "cocktail effect" of multiple chemical residues. Respiratory Health: Impacts of agricultural burning and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Nutritional Toxicology and Food Safety Nutrient Density: Comparison of mineral content in ecological vs. industrial soils. Pesticide Residue Limits: Setting safety thresholds for vulnerable populations (infants/pregnant women). Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR): The link between sub-therapeutic antibiotic use in livestock and human "superbugs." Social and Occupational Health Farmworker Protection: Reducing acute poisoning through green chemistry alternatives. Environmental Justice: Addressing the disproportionate impact of chemical runoff on marginalized communities. 4. Interrelated Cross-Cutting Themes These topics exist at the "overlap" where the three fields merge into one cohesive strategy. One Health Initiative A collaborative approach recognizing that the health of people is closely connected to the health of animals and our shared environment. The Biorefinery Concept Using Green Chemistry to turn agricultural waste (Ecological Agriculture) into medicines or non-toxic chemicals (Public Health). Ecotoxicology The study of how green chemical design affects the broader ecosystem, which eventually cycles back into the human food chain. Policy and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Measuring the "cradle-to-grave" impact of a product, from the farm/lab to human consumption and eventual disposal. Sustainable Food Systems Aligning chemical safety, agricultural productivity, and human nutrition to meet global food security goals.
