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.
CUSP cluster launches with five research projects supported by €30 million in EU funding; aims to investigate complex relationships between micro- and nanoplastics and human health over the next five years; AURORA project focused on early-life health
Scientists analyze migration of chemicals and microplastics from microwavable food containers; identify dozens of intentionally and non-intentionally added substances and up to over one million microplastics per liter in food simulants; migration partly exceeds Cramer class-based recommendations
Project partners hold internal launch event; new website, social media accounts, and newsletter created to inform and connect with interested stakeholders; research across project work packages now underway
