Just published! @WHO released updated report on human exposure and health effects of #microplastics.
Limited evidence suggests microplastics likely exhibit similar toxic effects and mechanisms as other well-studies insoluble particles.

We are excited to start preparations for next year's workshop at Monte Verita, Switzerland! Save the date for November 12 - 17, 2023 #microplasticsworkshop#microplastics
Five days passed by so fast for my first in person #microplasticsworkshop in Athens. It was great to meet and discuss in many aspects relating to plastics pollution with people who work in the field! What a motivated week! Thanks a lot @MicroplasticsW
New publication: This English-language compendium is the result of close cooperation of scientists across disciplines & helps to ensure a uniform understanding of key terms, e.g. additives , microbeads or degradation.

We're excited to announce a special edition of our webinar series: a panel discussion on marine plastic clean-up strategies with @TheOceanCleanup, @PlasticPunchGH and The Litterboom Project. Join us on Sept 22 at 11am (CET), live on youtube: https://t.co/qhhUVjjWpr.
It's almost time for our next webinar! Join us on September 8th at 11am CET with Atsuhiko Isobe from Kyushu University, Japan talking about the abundance of pelagic microplastics in the oceans. Watch it live on youtube: https://t.co/qhhUVjjWpr.
Speaking of pathogens and #microplastics, Bowley et al. review the importance of plastics in carrying pathogens throughout the oceans - what do we know and what remains to be understood? In @TrendsMicrobiol

There is widespread concern about #microplastics in seafood. Ribeiro et al. use Py-GC-MS to analyze microplastic burden in Australian oyster, prawn, squid, crab & sardine, finding PVC & PE. By @FranciscaGNR, @ElvisOkoffo, et al. in @EnvSciTech https://t.co/FXg4Ptlfoc
Excited that our chapter on Microplastics in Polar Samples is now published:
