The European Commission’s Research Cluster on the Health Impacts of Micro- and Nanoplastics (CUSP) has released its latest policy brief Micro- and Nanoplastics and Public Health: A Reasonable Concern. 

The publication highlights key findings from CUSP’s research into the health implications associated with micro- and nanoplastic particles and underscores the importance of addressing this emerging public health concern. 

COMBATTING MICROPLASTIC POLLUTION 

As well as showcasing the latest research, the policy brief discusses its potential to inform existing EU legislation and highlights key knowledge gaps that still exist. CUSP’s work plays a vital role in informing EU policy to combat microplastic pollution and promote a cleaner, healthier environment for all.
