This proceeding records the fully refereed papers presented at the conference. The main conference theme and track is Environmental Science and Technology. The conference aims to bring together researchers, scientists, chemists, biologists, engineers, and practitioners to exchange and share their experiences, new ideas, and research results about all aspects of themain conference themes and tracks and discuss the practical challenges encountered and the solutions adopted. The main goal of the event is to provide international scientific forums for exchange of new ideas in a number of fields that interact in-depth through discussions with their peers from around the world. Both inward research; core areas of Environmental Science and Technology and outward research; multi-disciplinary, interdisciplinary, and applications will be covered during the event. The conference has solicited and gathered scientific and technical research submissions related to all aspects of major conference themes and tracks. All the submitted papers in the proceeding have been peer reviewed by the reviewers drawn from the scientific and technical committee, external reviewers and editorial board depending on the subject matter of the paper.
