🚨New! Where do #microplastics go in the human body? Our hybrid perfusion–diffusion PBK model predicts particle numbers and size distributions across organs after inhalation and ingestion, helping bridge real-world exposure to internal dose. https://t.co/NuDDatKYn7

New paper in Microplastics & Nanoplastics: “Towards Regulatory Readiness” compares 6 frameworks for microplastic health risk assessment, proposes 9 technical criteria, and calls for an overarching RAF to support policy and action. https://t.co/QZu8JyqsiZ

Are freshwater #microplastic models overdoing #biofouling? This 17-week study suggests it matters most for particles <10 μm or densities near water—and may often be negligible for days-long runs and particles >400 μm. https://t.co/RahpPZnm3T

[MicroplasticLab Wageningen @MicroplasticLab]

Are riverine #microplastics a relevant carrier of #pathogens in the context of environmental transport and human health risks? Probably not ... https://t.co/WjY3Meq0lL

[MicroplasticLab Wageningen @MicroplasticLab]

New! Biofouling of #macroplastics affects fate. https://t.co/YwAvNpo3pf

Congrats to all members of the Wageningen #Microplastic Lab team: we are #Clarivate #HighlyCited for eight years in a row, including 'Cross-Field' !

[MicroplasticLab Wageningen @MicroplasticLab]

New: Towards ecological risk assessment of #microplastics for regulatory purposes https://t.co/JasVVcDDFo #RIVM rapport 2025-0095

[MicroplasticLab Wageningen @MicroplasticLab]

Hoe slecht zijn #microplastics voor je gezondheid? https://t.co/J0me5t0ani

[MicroplasticLab Wageningen @MicroplasticLab]

New by Taylor Lane et al. Exposure scenarios for human health risk assessment of nano- and #microplastics particles (2025). https://t.co/aS3ZXqqFN6

[MicroplasticLab Wageningen @MicroplasticLab]

How can we keep up with the explosion of #microplastic studies when carefully and time-consumingly screening data for relevance in risk assessment? Artificial Intelligence offers a solution! #AI (1/4) https://t.co/Q87EyWLoS8

[MicroplasticLab Wageningen @MicroplasticLab]

Tackling #microplastic pollution in soil requires a '#OneHealth' risk assessment framework, driven by standardized, high-quality exposure & effect data to shape effective policies. Collaboration is key! See https://t.co/lKiQwTpli8

[MicroplasticLab Wageningen @MicroplasticLab]

New paper about standardized #microplastics effects & risk assessments! Key takeaways: (a) First community-level risk assessment, (b) Protocols for creating realistic polydisperse MPs, (c) Call for harmonized testing & better reference materials. https://t.co/4KmJ6CG4HB

[MicroplasticLab Wageningen @MicroplasticLab]

Even more reason to consider Springer's MINA Journal for your best #microplastics manuscripts: the journal is approved for indexing by Scopus! See all the MINA articles via the link below..

In parallel, more research is needed to develop diverse methods to predict #MNPs effects on human health, to be able to better model the exposure risks.

Congrats to the @WURenvironment #microplastics team for being on the Highly Cited Researchers | Clarivate list for the 7th year in a row ! https://t.co/Bb8W1cDMBZ

Love haute cuisine? Here's a recipe for #microplastics mixtures with the same level of polydispersity as in nature. This innovation will improve risk assessments for human and environmental health by providing realistic testing materials. ->Vera de Ruijter https://t.co/UnVtVwtiDr

New study reveals that everyday LDPE food packaging can release 66-2034 #microplastics /cm² and hundreds of plastic-derived organic compounds under simulated conditions like microwaving, UV, freezing, & more. Time to rethink plastic wraps? https://t.co/gH7A6NqwzV
