Join the #PlasticHeal team Netherlands! Our project partners at Wageningen U&R have opened this postdoc vacancy in #microplastic research: 🔗wur.nl/en/vacancy/pos… 🗓️Deadline for applications: 6th February 2024 (included). #H2020 #MNPLs #Nanoplastics #EUResearch


🤝 We're proud to work with a group of talented early-career researchers working on #MicroPlastics & health! 👩🔬 Last November, young researchers within CUSPResearch gathered to talk about their experiences collaborating in a 🇪🇺 research cluster. 📺👉 bit.ly/47Kdohq


Are you interested in the human toxicity of #MicroPlastics? This Wednesday, POLYRISK's coordinator Raymond Pieters will join Academie Nationale de Pharmacie to present our project's research into the health effects of microplastics found in the environment. 📺 Watch it live! youtube.com/watch?v=DYd7wR…




🔎🥫 Recent studies link #ultraprocessedfoods to increased exposure to #phthalates & #microplastics. ➡️ Exposure can contribute to serious health impacts from endocrine disruption to reproductive issues ⚠️ via Food Packaging Forum ➡️ foodpackagingforum.org/news/ultra-pro… #ToxicFreeFuture


A new study shows #microplastics have been found in every human placenta tested, leaving scientists concerned over the potential health impacts. 👇 Read more from Guardian Environment. #MNPs ow.ly/Y81U50QMiIP

🔴 What's the state of the science on plastic chemicals? 🎙️ Tune into an online discussion on 14 March, organised by GENeva Environment Network, on chemicals and polymers of concerns, and how to address them. 👉 More info at ow.ly/qS9c50QSkX3 @CUSPResearch




⚕️Nano- and microplastic particles are a #PublicHealth concern, but we need more research to understand their specific health risks. CUSPResearch 's policy brief explains what we know about the health impacts of #MNPs and identifies key research gaps. polyrisk.science/2024/05/06/pol…


#Microplastics can be found everywhere in our environment, from synthetic rubber tires 🚗 to our clothes 👗. POLYRISK Research Project, where HEAL is a partner, is researching how these tiny plastic particles might impact our immune system 👉 polyrisk.science #PlasticFreeJuly





👩🔬Meet Annemijne van den Berg, PhD researcher at the Institute of Risk Assessment Sciences Utrecht University. She is investigating how our daily exposure to #Microplastics and #Nanoplastics may impact health and wellbeing. 🎙️Read her interview: polyrisk.science/2024/11/04/int… CUSPResearch
