About this event Reliable toxicity data is needed to assess the potential risk of microplastic exposure to aquatic ecosystems. This includes a more complete foundational understanding of microplastic toxicity and better characterization of the hazards they may present. However, there are notable shortcomings and data gaps in the available microplastic toxicity literature. This presentation will […]

Assessing human health effects of micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) is challenging for several reasons. MNPs are complex mixtures. MNPs may have different geometries, shapes and sizes. They can be made from different polymer types and contain various additives and contaminants. Join us for a special workshop on Tuesday 14 March at 12:30 – 17:00 CET, organised by […]
