The POLYRISK flyer illustrates how this EU-funded project aims to advance the science on how micro- and nanoplastic particles (MNPs) in our environment may impact health, particularly the immune system.
Resources from the CUSP cluster
POLYRISK is part of the European Cluster on the Health Impacts of Micro- and NanoPlastics (CUSP), a consortium of five research initiatives bringing together 75 organisations from 21 countries. Supported by the European Union, scientists, policymakers, and civil society are collaborating in this large-scale effort to find out what effects micro- and nanoplastics may have on human health.
Access CUSP resources, which include:
- Policy brief: Micro- and nanoplastics and public health: A reasonable concern
- The CUSP Brochure
- CUSP newsletters
- Policy brief: The regulatory relevance of the CUSP research cluster
- CUSP launch press release
