Scientists call for action on microplastics
Researchers across Europe released their final policy brief calling for stronger regulation, increased funding, and initiatives to raise public awareness to protect people from plastics.
What risks do micro- and nanoplastics pose to human health?
By creating a comprehensive state-of-the-art risk assessment framework, POLYRISK researchers are providing a tool to examine MNPs that are of potential concern for human health.
Understanding micro and nano-plastics one puzzle piece at a time
Meet Annemijne van den Berg, PhD researcher at the Institute of Risk Assessment Sciences, Utrecht University and learn more about how her research sheds light on the health impacts of MNPs.
Webinar recording – Micro- and Nanoplastics and Public Health
Watch the recording of our latest webinar with EDC Strategies Partnership to learn more about the latest science on the health impacts of micro- and nanoplastics.
Policy brief: Micro- and nanoplastics and public health
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.
Meet our researchers: Dr. Holger Sieg
We sat down with Dr. Holger Sieg, Biochemist and Staff Scientist at the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR), to learn more about his role in the POLYRISK project.
