The scale of micro- and nanoplastic (MNP) pollution is becoming increasingly clear yet little is known about how this pollution impacts health. We are developing an actionable European roadmap for early-life health risk assessment of MNPs.
Report from Plastic Soup Foundation reviews scientific literature on microplastics; highlights sources in five consumer product categories, including food; shares FCMiNo as searchable resource for evidence on microplastics in food from food contact articles; describes challenges with quality of scientific studies; asserts need for action
New report estimates the global burden of micro- and nanoplastics in food attributable to plastic packaging; estimate 131 mg per person annually; PET bottles, and rigid PET and polyethylene containers the greatest sources
AURORA partners met in Utrecht, the Netherlands for the final in-person full project meeting; partners discussed research progress; planned upcoming dissemination efforts; key outcomes to be presented publicly during final stakeholder in Maastricht on May 21, 2026
