CUSP workshops on human health risk
assessment frameworks for MNPs

Final Agenda and Background to the Workshop:

The 3rd CUSP Workshop on the health risk assessment of micro- and nanoplastics, organised by PlasticsFatE and CUSP WG5, takes place tomorrow!

Please find attached the final agenda with the mentimeter link where you can interact, and the background to the event.

Date and time:

Friday April 21st, 2023, 09:00 - 13:30 CEST

Registration:

If you haven't registered yet, there is still time to register here.

The workshop is free of charge and open to all interested stakeholders including researchers, those involved in policy-making, and anyone interested in the risk assessment of MNPs.

A Zoom meeting link will be sent to you automatically upon registration and proceedings will be shared afterwards.

About CUSP

There is widespread scientific evidence on the ubiquity of micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) in our environment. The tiny particles which result from the degradation of larger plastics or which are manufactured and added to products for different purposes find their way into the human body through the food we eat, the water we drink or the very air we breathe. Yet, so far, we know little about the risks they pose to human health.

For this reason, the European Commission has decided to fund five research projects - AURORA, ImpTox, PLASTICHEAL, PlasticsFatE and POLYRISK - that together form the European Research Cluster to Understand the Health Impacts of Micro- and NanoPlastics: CUSP. They will collaborate in gathering policy-relevant scientific data to improve the risk assessment of MNPs on human health.
