Recent Trends in Environmental Sustainability

Preface

It is a great privilege for us to present the abstract book of ESCON 2022 to the authors and
delegates of the event. We hope that you will find it useful, exciting and inspiring. The ESCON
2022: International Conference on Recent trends in Environmental Sustainability hosted by
the Department of Environmental Sciences, COMSATS University Islamabad, Vehari Campus
with the aim to provide a forum for discussion, facilitate integration in the advancements of
techniques and technologies for environment sustainability. The initiative brought together
researchers, scholars, and students from all the localities, region, countries and continents all
around the world. The responses to the call-for-papers had been overwhelming – both from
Pakistan and from overseas.

The conference was held over three days, from 21 to 23 February (Monday - Tuesday) 2022
in Vehari, Punjab, Pakistan. The conference included more than 20 concurrent sessions in
which there were invaluable presentations by both national and international presenters. We
must sincerely thank the presenters, chairpersons and the students, who contributed so
magnificently to the success of the conference. We tried hard to ensure that the conference
would be well organized and hope that we met the expectations of honorable guests. We are
grateful to the presenters and the participants for their thought-provoking contributions.

I, on behalf of organizing committee, would like to express my sincere appreciation and
thanks to all the authors for their contributions to this publication. We are highly thankful to
all the reviewers for their constructive comments on the abstracts. We would also like to
extend our thanks to the members of the organizing team for their hard work. And we are
looking forward to further cooperation and future meetings of ESCON at COMSATS University
Islamabad, Vehari Campus. Let us wish that all the participants of ESCON 2022 will have a
wonderful and fruitful time at the conference, and that our guests will enjoy their sojourn in
Vehari in this beautiful February.
